 2025–26 Supercoppa Italiana | |
TheSupercoppa Italiana, also known as theItalian Super Cup, is an annualsuper cup tournament inItalian football. Founded in 1988 as a two-team competition, it has featured four teams since2023 (the winners and runners-up of the previous season'sSerie A andCoppa Italia).[1] Before the format change, the match was exclusively contested between the winners of the Serie A and Coppa Italia titles. Under the new rules, if a team were to be occupying more than one of the four spots, that spot would then be filled by the third and/or fourth teams in the Serie A standings.[2]
It was originally the opening match of the new season, played at the home stadium of the previous season's Serie A champions. Since 2018, the competition has been held during the winter months, and is mainly hosted internationally.Juventus is the most successful club with nine titles. They have metLazio on five occasions, making it the most frequent matchup in tournament history.
When the tournament first began, it was primarily held in Italy. It went abroad for the first time in 1993, whenWashington, D.C. hosted a match betweenAC Milan andTorino.[3] There would not be another international contest until 2002, when the Supercoppa was held inTripoli.[4] The following year,East Rutherford, a suburb of New York City, hosted the tournament.[5] The next five contests would be held in Italy, and in 2009, a new era of international travel would begin for the Supercoppa.Beijing hosted a match between Lazio andInter Milan that year, while China would go on to host three more tournaments by 2015.[6]Qatar hosted the tournament twice in this time as well, in 2014 and 2016.

In 2018, theLega Serie A and theGeneral Sports Authority signed an agreement that would see Saudi Arabia host three of the next five tournaments.[7] This decision sparked controversy, as Italians were concerned about women in Saudi Arabia being unable to attend the match unless they were within the stadium's family sections and were accompanied by men. Then-Serie A president Gaetano Miccichè told those concerned that these sections were a sign of progress, saying "The Supercoppa will go down in history as the first official international football competition which Saudi women were permitted to watch live."[8] The cup did return to Italy in 2020 for two years, but only due to theCOVID-19 pandemic. It has since gone back to Saudi Arabia, where it is set to remain until 2029 under a new six-year agreement.[9]
The Serie A title and Coppa Italia have been won by the same team eight times since the Supercoppa was introduced. As a result, Coppa Italia runners-up instead competed in the subsequent Supercoppa, per Lega Serie A rules. This occurred five times with Juventus (1995,2015,2016,2017 and2018), twice with Inter Milan (2006 and2010), and once with Lazio (2000). Since 2023, Serie A and Coppa Italia runners-up automatically qualify for the tournament.
The only Supercoppa to ever be held without spectators was on 20 January 2021, at theMapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore.
AC Milan became the first Coppa Italia runners-up to win the Supercoppa Italiana after defeating Juventus on penalties in 2016.[10] They later made history again in 2025, becoming the first Serie A runners-up to win the competition by defeating Inter Milan, in just the second year of the tournament's new four-team format.[11]
