Curtain raiser in a sports contest
For the german car racing serial, see Supercup A Super cup is a competition, normally but not entirely in association football, which much forms the ’ curtain-raiser ’ to a season. It is typically contested on a national level by two competition winners of the previous season : the knock-out cup winner and the league winner. There are besides continental extremely cups, like the UEFA Super Cup in football, which puts together winners of the top- and second-tier UEFA competitions. sometimes these are two-legged ties, with a catch played at each side ‘s stadium, but increasingly they are one-off fixtures at a neutral venue, such as a national stadium. Some Super Cups have even been staged in venues outside their home country, such as the italian, french, spanish, Turkish, Mexican, and egyptian games. If the league champions are besides the national cup winners, they may play the runner-up from one of the competitions.

Most of the continental football confederations have jointly held a competition pitting their champions against each other :
All of these competitions are now defunct and have been succeeded by the FIFA Club World Cup, which features the champions of all of the confederations, plus the ace of the host state. In 2017, FIFA retroactively recognised the winners of the European/South american english Cup as global champions. [ 1 ] A similar tournament was held at external level, the FIFA Confederations Cup. It was initially held on a biennial basis, every curious year, from 1993 until 2005 when it became quadrennial, the year before a World Cup in its host country. It featured the six continental champions, the World Cup winners and the host. The 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup was the tenth and last Confederations Cup before FIFA abolished it for an expanded Club World Cup.

other tournaments like this have been held, including the Suruga Bank Championship ( pitting the Copa Sudamericana and J.League Cup winners ), the Copa de Oro ( pitting all the most holocene CONMEBOL competition winners ), and the Copa Iberoamericana ( pitting the Copa de Oro and Copa del Rey winners .
