Sixth Italian Super Cup in Saudi Arabia underlines Kingdom’s growing status as tournament host

RIYADH: The Italian Super Cup returns to Saudi Arabia this Thursday, December 18, a milestone that reflects more than the appeal of a stellar four-team tournament. With the tournament set to take place at Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh, the 38th edition of the competition offers a clear illustration of how Saudi’s role as a football host has evolved from novelty to consistency. 2024/25 Serie A champions Napoli are participating for the sixth time, with Coppa Italia winners Bologna making their Super Cup debut after lifting their first domestic cup in 51 years.
