According to Tasnim news agency, the success of the Spanish plan to attract audience and income by increasing the number of their Super Cup teams has made their counterparts in the Italian Football Federation think of holding the traditional match between the champions of the league and the elimination cup in a different way.
Currently, the only similarity between the Italian and Spanish Super Cups is that these games are held in the city of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, but while the Spanish Super Cup is held by four teams including the champions and runners-up of the league and the knockout cup, in the Italian Super Cup only the champions of Serie A and Coppa Italy will face each other in a single game.
Holding more games and increasing the possibility of confrontation between big teams, which is attractive to the audience, has led to an increase in the income of the Spanish Football Federation, and now the Italians are also planning to adopt such a method. According to the report of Sule 24 news site and Gazzetta dello Sport, Saudi Arabia is ready to buy the right to host the new edition of the Italian Super Cup for four seasons for 150 million euros.
The final of the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday night was accompanied by Barcelona’s victory against Real Madrid and the team’s 14th championship, and the Italian Super Cup match will be held tonight (Wednesday) between the teams of Inter and Milan.
