This article provides a clear overview of the trophy contested in Saudi Arabia and the Spanish Super Cup for 2023. It explains the competition’s format, the teams involved, and how the event unfolds on the ground and in the schedule.
In 2023, the Spanish Super Cup returns to a Final Four format that gathers the season’s top teams in a single tournament held in Saudi Arabia. This setup follows a recent shift away from the traditional model where only the cup winner and the league champion met in a single match. The 2023 edition features four finalists: Betis, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia. The aim is to crown the winner in a compact, knockout-style competition rather than a two-team showdown.
The first edition under this Final Four format delivered a dramatic title, with Real Madrid advancing after a tense penalty shootout against Atlético de Madrid. The semi finalists in that edition also included Valencia and Barcelona, with the matches played across several venues in the region of Andalusia. The format was then refined for 2022, culminating in Real Madrid’s triumph over Barcelona in the semifinals and Athletic Club Bilbao in the final, setting a high bar for the following season.

The competition brings together the top two finishers from La Liga and the two finalists from the Copa del Rey. These four clubs enter a semi-final stage, with the winners advancing to the final. There is no third-place match in this format, making every knockout tie carry substantial weight for both clubs and fans alike.
For the 2022-2023 season, the four participants are determined by the usual criteria: the Copa del Rey champion, the Copa runner-up, the La Liga champion, and the La Liga runner-up. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, and Betis earned their spots through these campaigns, leading to a compressed schedule that keeps the national cup and league battles relevant throughout the season.
The semifinal pairings saw Real Madrid facing Valencia after a dramatic 1-1 draw that ended with a penalty shootout victory for Real Madrid, securing their place in the final. In the other semi, Barcelona edged Betis after a 2-2 draw that went to penalties, sending Barcelona to the championship match in a high-stakes showdown.
The 2023 Final Four matches take place at King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh, a venue known for its capacity to host large crowds and create a powerful atmosphere for big football nights. The stadiums used for the event offer modern facilities that help showcase the drama of a knockout tournament watched by fans across the region and beyond.
