UEFA Super Cup

The UEFA Super Cup (aka European Super Cup) is a continental football competition held annually for the European club winners of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Cup, organized by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). The European Super Cup was created in 1972 by the Dutch reporter and editor Anton Witkamp. Since 1998 the European Super Cup has always been decided in one single match, in Monaco's Stade Louis II. Since the beginning of the 1999/2000 season and the discontinuation of the Cup Winners' Cup, the European Super Cup has been contested between the respective winners of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Cup and takes place at the start of the domestic season, in August.
