Venue
It was the first UEFA Super Cup to be held in Austria, and the first major European final to be played in Salzburg. It was the seventh major European club final to be played in Austria, after four in the European Cup/Champions League (1964, 1987, 1990, 1995), one in the Cup Winners' Cup (1970) and one in the UEFA Cup (1994 first leg), all of which were held at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion in Vienna. The Red Bull Arena is the home stadium of Red Bull Salzburg, and has a capacity of 30,071. The venue opened in 2003, and hosted three group stage matches at UEFA Euro 2008. It was known as Stadion Salzburg in UEFA communications due to their restrictions on third-party sponsorship.
Host selection The Red Bull Arena was selected as the host by the UEFA Executive Committee during their meeting in Tirana, Albania, on 11 September 2025.
Pre-match After being denied entry to the United States to officiate at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Somali referee Omar Artan was appointed as the lead official for the 2026 UEFA Super Cup on 11 June 2026, becoming the first ever non-European to officiate the match. The appointment was made within the framework of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between UEFA and the Confederation of African Football (CAF), signed on the sidelines of the 76th FIFA Congress in Vancouver, Canada in April 2026.
Match Summary In the 20th minute, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia gave Paris Saint-Germain the lead when he received the ball on the left from Désiré Doué before cutting into the penalty area and shooting right footed to the left of the net. It was 1–1 in the 45th minute when Brian Madjo finished high to the net from six yards out with a side-footed volley after a cross from John McGinn from the right. This goal made him the youngest player ever to score at the UEFA Super Cup, at 17 years and 212 days.
In the 60th minute, Désiré Doué scored to make it 2–1 to Paris Saint-Germain when he received a pass on the right from substitute Ousmane Dembélé before cutting in on his left foot before shooting into the left of the net from the right edge of the six yard box. After a VAR check for offside, the goal was awarded.
Following this result, Paris Saint-Germain became the fourth club (after Ajax, AC Milan, and Real Madrid) to win the UEFA Super Cup in consecutive seasons.
Details The Champions League winners were designated as the "home" team for administrative purposes.
