Encyclopedia > European Supercup

The European Super Cup is at stake in an annual football game between the reigning champions of the UEFA Cup and UEFA Champions League. It takes place at the start of the domestic season, in August, and though it could be viewed as the ultimate European club championship decider, it is generally regarded as a minor event, with the Champions League and UEFA Cup winners not always fielding their best players and clearly not in their top fitness. Football is a ball game played between two teams of eleven players, each attempting to win by scoring more goals than their opponent. ... UEFA Cup logo The UEFA Cup is a football competition for European club teams. ... Champions League Logo The UEFA Champions League is an annual international inter-club football competition between Europes most successful clubs, regarded as the most prestigious club trophy in the sport. ...

History

It was created in 1972 by Anton Witkamp, a reporter and later sports editor of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf. The idea came to him in a time where Dutch total football was Europe's finest and Dutch football clubs were living their golden era (especially Ajax). Witkamp was looking for something new to definitely decide which was the best team in Europe and also to further test Ajax's legendary team, led by their star player Johann Cruyff. It was then proposed that the winner of the European Champions Cup would face the winner of the Cup Winners' Cup. 1972 was a leap year that started on a Saturday. ...

The Cup Winners Cup was a football club competition between the winners of the European domestic cup competitions. ...


All was set for a new competition to be born. However, when Witkamp tried to get an official endorsement to his competition, the UEFA president turned it down because of a one-year ban applied to Cup Winners' Cup holders Rangers, due to misbehavior of their supporters. Still, the cup dispute went ahead despite the unofficial status. It was played in two legs and was financially supported by Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf. Ajax beat Rangers and won the very first European Super Cup. Since then, the competition has been officially recognised and supported by UEFA.

European Super Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (567 words)
The European Super Cup is at stake in an annual football game between the reigning champions of the UEFA Cup and the Champions League.
It takes place at the start of the domestic season, in August, and though it could be viewed as the ultimate European club championship decider, it is generally regarded as a minor event, with the Champions League and UEFA Cup winners not always fielding their best players and clearly not at top fitness levels.
Since the beginning of the 1999/2000 season, the European Super Cup has been contested between the respective winners of the UEFA Cup and Champions' League.
Alex Ferguson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (5990 words)
They had qualified for the European Cup Winners' Cup as a result of winning the Scottish Cup the previous season, and impressively knocked out Bayern Munich, who had beaten Tottenham Hotspur 4–1 in the previous round.

With 90 minutes on the clock they were 1-0 down to Bayern Munich at the Nou Camp in Barcelona thanks to a Mario Basler free kick, but in 3 minutes of injury time allowed by referee Pierluigi Collina, Teddy Sheringham, a substitute, equalised and extra time looked certain.
