Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Sport announced Wednesday that NEOM has been named as the main partner of the Spanish Super Cup, while the Red Sea Development Company will be the main tournament sponsor.

The event will take place in Riyadh during the period between January 12 and 16.

The four teams competing in the event are Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao according to the golden square system.

The knockout matches will be held on Jan 12 and 13, and the final match will take place on Jan 16.

The Kingdom first hosted the event in Jeddah. Real Madrid won the first staging of the competition in January 2020, which ended with Los Blancos winning on penalties in the final against city rivals Atletico.

Riyadh’s hosting of the Spanish Super Cup comes as part of the initiative to establish and host international sporting events, which fall under the "Quality of Life" program of the Kingdom's Vision 2030.
