History

Historical Context

The UEFA Super Cup, established in 1972, originally featured winners of the European Cup and the Cup Winners' Cup. In 1998, it transitioned to a single-match format between the Champions League and Europa League winners. The proposed expansion to four teams mirrors changes made in the 2016 Champions League format, aiming to enhance global appeal and revenue for UEFA.
