How UEFA revolutionizes Super Cup of Europe “” Everything becomes a matter of money “

The continental forum does not leave the supercape of Europe. According to the British daily The Telegraph, UEFA intends to expand the competition, transforms a mini-tour with four teams, starting with 2028.

4 clubs will participate, we will have semifinals and final

Two semifinals and one final are planned – all scheduled during several days. Two of the participants are clear: the winner of the Champions League and that of the Europa League. Beside these will be invited two more clubs, but who could be these is still unclear. One can, very well, be the winner of Conference League.

The reasons why UEFA proceeds to reform the competition established in 1972 are not difficult to intuit: marketing and visibility. The European body does not see how, in the current formula, the supercapa could produce more money. The interest is very low.

This year's final was played at Udine because no one else wanted to host

This year's final, Paris Saint-Germain vs Tottenham Hotspur (2-2, 4-3 on penalties) took place in Udine, in Italy, on a stadium with only 25,000 seats! The reason? No one else offered to host the match. Which contrasts with UEFA interests, who believes that “a big show needs a bigger scene.”

This is why the Continental Forum is considering removing the supercapa and outside Europe, with Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the US among the great favorite to host it. The Telegraph writes that an American agency is looking for strong financial partners worldwide, willing to invest massively in this event.

A Romanian won the first edition of the European Super Cup

The first edition of the European Super Cup took place in 1972 and was played in two sleeves. Protagonists: Ajax, the winner of the European Champions Cup, and Rangers, who had awarded the Cup Cup that year.

With the Romanian Stefan Covaci on the bench, Ajax awarded his trophy through two victories. At Glasgow he won 3-1, and then, at Amsderdam, to defeat 3-2.
