RIYADH — The Ministry of Sport announced on Tuesday that Saudi Arabia will host the Italian Super Cup for the fifth time, scheduled to take place in Riyadh from January 2 to 6, 2025.

The tournament will feature four leading Italian football clubs: Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, and Atalanta BC.

Saudi Arabia has previously hosted the Italian Super Cup on four occasions. The first match was held in Jeddah in 2018, where Juventus defeated AC Milan to claim the title.

In 2019, the event moved to Riyadh, where Lazio emerged victorious against Juventus.

In 2022, Inter Milan triumphed over AC Milan in a fierce derby, and earlier this year, Inter Milan successfully defended their title by defeating Napoli.

The upcoming event underscores Saudi Arabia’s continued success in organizing major international sporting events, in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, which aims to position the country as a premier global destination for sports and athletes.
