When and where is Uefa Super Cup?

The Uefa Super Cup will take place in Udine, Italy, on Wednesday, 13 August at 20:00 BST when Paris St-Germain face Tottenham Hotspur.

The 25,000-seater Stadio Friuli – home to Serie A club Udinese – will become the 13th venue to host the fixture since it switched away from Monaco in 2012.

The annual match, which pits the Champions League winners against the Europa League victors, will have a new winner this season as former runners-up PSG face debutants Spurs.

PSG secured their place after a 5-0 victory against Inter Milan in the Champions League final, while Spurs booked their spot by beating Manchester United 1-0 in May’s Europa League final.

The trophy was devised by Dutch reporter Anton Witkamp to decide who was the top club side in Europe.

Ajax beat Rangers over two legs in the inaugural competition in 1972, but the concept wasn’t officially recognised by Uefa until a year later.

The Super Cup was first played between the winners of the then European Cup and the winners of the Cup Winners’ Cup.

After the latter was discontinued by Uefa in 1999, the fixture became an annual clash between the Champions League winners and the now Europa League victors.

Despite the addition of the Conference League in 2021, the winners of that competition do not compete for the Super Cup.

The Uefa Super Cup was hosted by Monaco from 1998 until 2012, but has been played in 13 different locations since.

The venue is now decided by individual football associations bidding to host major Uefa matches, before the executive committee makes the final selection.

Uefa states that all member associations can bid to host finals, but bids can’t be made by FA’s that are suspended, excluded or dissolved, or have an affiliated club and/or national team suspended from participating in Uefa competitions.

In the initiating phase, Uefa invites members to declare their interest to host a final. A list of interested members is then reviewed.

If successful, bid requirements are then made available for associations, who can submit their bid dossier to Uefa by a specific deadline.

Once the dossier is examined and the proposed stadiums are visited by Uefa, they have to provide detailed information regarding requirements and format of the site.

Winners of the trophy will receive five million euros (£4.3m) in prize money, while the runners-up get four million euros (£3.4m).
