Supercoppa Italiana will not be in Saudi Arabia, confirm Lega Serie A
The Supercoppa Italiana will not be in Saudi Arabia for 2026-27, confirmed Lega Serie A President Luigi De Siervo, with USA and Italy potential options.
The last edition had been played in Saudi Arabia and there was a contract option for the organisers to host next season too.
However, it seems they have decided against using that clause, so it will be played elsewhere.

“There is a theory we could play in the United States, and another international idea, but also that of playing for a year in Italy.”
The Supercoppa Italiana should once again be in the Final Four format, meaning there are semi-finals between the winners of the Scudetto and Coppa Italia runners-up, and vice versa.
Whoever wins those two matches then go head-to-head for the trophy.
It tends to be played on neutral turf, so it would require suitable stadiums.

There is another problem with this format, which is that Inter won the Scudetto and are also the Coppa Italia Finalists, so there has to be an extra team found from somewhere else.
