Supercopa De Europa returns in 2025 with football glory on the line. The UEFA Super Cup—between Champions League victors Paris Saint-Germain and Europa League champions Tottenham Hotspur—takes place on **13 August 2025** at **Stadio Friuli** in Udine, Italy. This matchup isn’t just a trophy game—it doubles as a curtain-raiser for the new European season under high-stakes, debut-manager drama.
Match Day Essentials
The final kicks off at **21:00 CET (8 pm UK / 3 pm ET)** on Wednesday, 13 August. Notably, this edition skips extra time: if the match is drawn after 90 minutes, it goes straight to penalty kicks. The Portuguese referee João Pinheiro will officiate, with Tiago Martins on VAR duties.
Venue Spotlight: Stadio Friuli, Udine
Hosting for the first time, **Stadio Friuli** brings history into the spotlight. With around **25,000 seats**, this venue offers an intimate atmosphere compared to usual Super Cup arenas. It previously featured in Italy’s international tournaments and will now mark a notable moment in the competition’s 50-year history.
Clash of Champions
PSG enters as undisputed European elite—fresh off Champions League victory and a domestic treble. Tottenham, meanwhile, rides the momentum of their Europa League success and begin a new era under coach Thomas Frank, who takes charge of his first competitive fixture. This matchup isn’t just a title—it’s a statement.
Manager Showdown: Experience vs Momentum
Thomas Frank’s Spurs open their campaign against one of Europe’s most dominant sides. Meanwhile, PSG’s seasoned setup comes with massive expectations. For Tottenham, this is an early chance to add European silverware; for PSG, it’s fuel to continue their dominance.
