The French league administration officially announced today (Wednesday) that Bloomfield Stadium in Tel Aviv has been chosen to host the French Super Cup on August 1. The traditional game brings together every summer the French champion with the trophy holder.
Since 2009 the French Super Cup has been held every year in a different city while among the countries that have already hosted the game were Tunisia, Canada, Morocco, USA China and Austria, except for 2020, where due to Corona restrictions the game was held in France.
Paris Saint-Germain has won the Super Cup for the last 8 years in a row, and the Israeli audience will surely be happy to see the constellation come to Israel and complete its ninth consecutive win.
In order for that to happen PSG will have to take an eighth championship in a row or win the French Cup, when already next week they will meet Lille for the quarter-final match.
After 28 rounds, PSG is in second place in the league with 60 points - 2 less than the leading night.

We will make this game an unforgettable memory for the Israeli public and fans around the world.
