Back in 2020, the Spanish Super Cup was moved to Saudi Arabia after the Spanish Football Federation agreed a contract with the Middle Eastern nation. It has been a very controversial move, although there are no signs of the competition returning to Spanish soil anytime soon.
The current agreement between the Federation and Saudi Arabia runs until 2029, but there are already plans for it to be extended. As per Diario AS, talks are underway for the Spanish Super Cup to stay where it is for an extra five years, until 2034.
It’s noted that both parties are very satisfied with the current arrangement, despite controversies that took place this week during the semi-finals, which saw the wives of some players being harassed, and the same happening to supporters.
Many believe that it is not a good look for Spanish football that the Spanish Super Cup is played in Saudi Arabia, although those views do not appear to have any effect on those at the Federation.
