Spanish Super Cup to take new format, with four teams competing abroad

The Supercopa de Espana – the Spanish Super Cup- is set to take on a four-team format and be played abroad.

The Cup holders Barcelona played Sevilla in the last edition in a one-off game in Morocco, having previously been staged over two legs in Spain.

The new proposal would see the Copa del Rey finalists and top two in La Liga meet in a four-team tournament.

Spanish football bosses hope the new format would generate more interest.

“In this way, we get the brand of the Spanish clubs to participate in a more important way,” added Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) president Luis Rubiales.

RFEF bosses want to stage the first tournament this year before the start of the domestic season, though the proposals have yet to be approved.
