The European Super Cup (UEFA Super Cup) is an annual football game between the reigning champions of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. It takes place at the start of the domestic season, in August, normally on a Friday.
The UEFA Super Cup was established in 1972. It was contested between the winners of the European Cup/UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup Winners' Cup until 1999 when the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup was discontinued. The last Super Cup in this format was the 1999 UEFA Super Cup between Lazio and Manchester United which Lazio won 1–0. The competition was originally played over two legs, one at each participating club's stadium. Since the 1998 competition the final has been a single match played at a neutral venue.
Fun Fact: For 15 consecutive years (1998 - 2012) the final was played in Monaco's Stade Louis II stadium.
The European Super Cup was created in 1972 by Anton Witkamp, a reporter and later sports editor of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf. The idea came to him in a time when Dutch total football was Europe's finest and Dutch football clubs were living their golden era (especially Ajax).
The UEFA Super Cup trophy has undergone several changes in its history. The first trophy that was presented to Ajax in 1973 and 1974 was extremely large; in fact, was bigger than the European cup. This was replaced by a plaque with a gold UEFA Emblem. The next trophy was the smallest and lightest of all the European club trophies, weighing 5 kg and measuring 42.5 cm in height. The new model weighs 12.2 kg and measures 58 cm in height. A team which wins 3 times in a row or 5 in total, receives an original copy of the trophy and a special mark of recognition.
