Why the Spanish Super Cup is Held in Saudi Arabia and Until When

The Spanish Super Cup has been held in Saudi Arabia for the fourth consecutive year, following an agreement that began in 2020. The decision was made by the Spanish Football Federation with the aim of revitalizing the competition and promoting Spanish football internationally. The format of the tournament has changed, with the two finalists of the Copa del Rey and the top two teams from La Liga participating in knockout matches. The agreement has been automatically renewed until 2030, securing approximately 30 million euros annually for the Federation and increased financial benefits for the clubs.
