Paris Saint-Germain will face Tottenham Hotspur in this year's UEFA Super Cup following their respective European triumphs, with the match scheduled for August 13 at Stadio Fruili in Udine, Italy.
The matchup was confirmed after PSG defeated Inter Milan to claim their first-ever UEFA Champions League trophy on Saturday. The French champions will now meet Tottenham, who secured their place in the Super Cup by defeating Manchester United in the Europa League final last Wednesday.
The annual UEFA Super Cup pits the winners of Europe's two premier club competitions against each other in what serves as the traditional curtain-raiser for the European football season.
For PSG, the victory marks a historic achievement as they finally secured the Champions League trophy that has long eluded them despite years of heavy investment. The triumph was particularly emphatic, with former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger noting reasons behind PSG's commanding performance against Inter Milan.
PSG captain Marquinhos had previously highlighted the significance of the victory, referencing five former PSG players who were unable to secure the prestigious trophy during their time with the club.
Following their Champions League success, UEFA named PSG's Ousmane Dembele as Player of the Season, recognizing his contributions to the team's European campaign.
Before the Super Cup encounter, PSG will participate in the Club World Cup in the United States next month. They have been drawn in a group with Atletico Madrid, Botafogo, and Seattle Sounders for the tournament.
For Tottenham, the Super Cup presents an opportunity to add another European trophy to their cabinet following their Europa League success under manager Ange Postecoglou.
The August showdown will be closely watched by football fans worldwide as both clubs look to claim the first major European silverware of the 2025/26 season.
