💣Spanish Super Cup 2027 set to be played in Doha | OneFootball

The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) continues to expand the boundaries of national football. Although the organization has reached an agreement to extend its partnership with Saudi Arabia until the year 2030, the 2027 edition of the Spanish Super Cup is set for a change of venue: Doha, Qatar, will almost certainly be the host of the tournament.

The reason for the change of venue

This temporary move is due to a scheduling conflict in Saudi territory. During the planned dates for the competition (between January and February 2027), Saudi Arabia will simultaneously host the first Esports Olympic Games and the Asian Cup. Given the logistical impossibility of adding a third major event, Doha emerges as the ideal solution, with an agreement that is very close to being formalized.

A lucrative business for Spanish football

The economic success of the current format is undeniable. According to Rafael Louzán, president of the RFEF, the tournament has gone from generating one million euros in 2018 to producing more than 50 million euros today. Of this total, 27 million come from sponsorships and 11 from television rights. These revenues are vital not only for the participating teams but also to support the national football pyramid, allocating 26 million euros to lower division clubs.
