The Spanish Super Cup returns to Jeddah

Get ready to witness a showdown of epic proportions.

The world of football is gearing up for an electrifying showdown as the Spanish Super Cup returns to Jeddah. The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has officially announced that the upcoming edition of this prestigious tournament will be hosted in the Red Sea City.

Taking place at Jeddah’s King Abdullah Sports City Stadium, where it will return after its three-year stint in Riyadh, the Spanish Super Cup is poised to be an exciting fixture. Marking its fifth year in 2025, the tournament, kicking off from 8 to 12 January, will see the best of the football world face each other in Jeddah.

For the unversed, the Spanish Super Cup is a thrilling competition that brings together the creme de la creme of Spanish football. It’s a clash of titans, where the winners and runners-up of the Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup) and La Liga face off in a bid to claim the coveted trophy.

Athletic Bilbao, FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, and RCD Mallorca will face each other in the field. First up will be reigning Super Cup champions Real Madrid opposite RCD Mallorca on 8 January. The following day, FC Barcelona will go head-to-head with Athletic Bilbao. The winners of these two semi-finals will move to the final on 12 January, where one team will lift the Spanish Super Cup trophy.

The Spanish Super Cup was first held in Saudi Arabia in 2020 at the very same Jeddah venue. The following year, the tournament shifted to Riyadh where it continued for three consecutive years — making this return a much-anticipated one.

The return of the Spanish Super Cup perfectly aligns with Saudi Vision 2030. By continuing to host world-class sporting events, the Kingdom is positioning itself as a top-tier destination for sports tourism — making the upcoming FIFA 2034 World Cup a feather in Saudi Arabia’s hat.

Now, you might be wondering, how do you secure your spot at these thrilling matches? Tickets for the event, also known as Super Copa will be available soon and are expected to start from SAR 100.

Whether you’re a die-hard football fan or just someone looking for a fantastic sports event, this tournament has something for everyone.
