What is the UEFA Super Cup? 

The UEFA Super Cup is an annual football match organized by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) that pits a side from the UEFA Champions League from the previous season against a side that won the UEFA Europa League from the previous season. 

Established in 1972, the Super Cup is the traditional opener for the European club football season, which is held typically in August. 

Normally, a single game at a proper venue, the Super Cup has used a neutral venue in current times, but originally was played in a two-legged format. Furthermore, the UEFA Super Cup boasts two of Europe's best club teams competing for the title to show their dominance of the sport and secure a cash prize. 

Overall, the UEFA Super Cup is a highly enjoyed competition for its football played, the competitiveness shown, and the chance for clubs to add early-season silverware and bragging rights.

UEFA Super Cup 2025 Prize Money

The runners-up, Tottenham Hotspur, received €4 million for finishing second (as is standard). The prize money received from the Super Cup is quite modest in comparison to the prize money from the many other UEFA competitions, such as the UEFA Champions League. 

However, the Super Cup is much more of a high-profile presentation and curtain-raiser for the European season/"audience" as opposed to receiving the economic benefits of other UEFA competitions.

There is no change to the prize structure from previous years, which reflects competitive prestige, competitive spirit, and fairly solid monetary prize money for clubs competing at the top, top level of European football.
