Joining Royal Spanish Football Federation president Rafael Louzán at the signing ceremony were Osman Aşkın Bak, Minister of Youth and Sports of the Republic of Türkiye; Mehmet Nuri Ersoy, Minister of Culture and Tourism; H. E. Turki Alalshikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; Necmeddin Bilal Erdoğan, President of the World Ethnosport Confederation; and İbrahim Ethem Hacıosmanoğlu, President of the Turkish Football Federation.

🗣 Rafael Louzán: “The 2027 edition will give this great tournament an even greater international reach.”

“Our competition continues to grow and is taking the excellence of Spanish football to new audiences. It is a tournament that reaches more than 100 million viewers around the world. Our football is among the most respected in the world today. Spain are world champions at national-team level in both the men’s and women’s game. We have outstanding players and some of the most renowned clubs in world football. In just a few months, Turkish fans will be able to enjoy the magic of the Spanish Super Cup, an intense and exciting competition that has given us some of the finest nights in our football in recent years in Jeddah and Riyadh.”

There will be three major matches at three major stadiums. Istanbul has hosted UEFA Champions League and Europa League finals in recent years and is a city equipped to stage the biggest international events. It has a fanbase that experiences football in a very special way.

“Istanbul will embrace the Super Cup and this tournament will contribute to the city’s international profile, in a place that occupies a privileged position on the world football map. We hope this will not be the only occasion. We want it to be the beginning of a special relationship between Spanish and Turkish football. That is the virtue of football: it creates bonds that go beyond 90 minutes. In February 2027, the Spanish Super Cup will have a new home, Istanbul, and we know that the Turkish fans will make it their own. We are sure of that. May it be another great success for the Spanish Super Cup.”

On behalf of the Turkish Football Federation, its president İbrahim Ethem Hacıosmanoğlu welcomed Spanish football to Türkiye: “We are ready to host an event such as the Spanish Super Cup. Thank you to the Royal Spanish Football Federation for bringing the Super Cup to Istanbul. We will make the fans feel at home.”

Representing the World Ethnosport Confederation, President Necmeddin Bilal Erdoğan said: “We are ready to welcome the great clubs that will bring the Spanish Super Cup to Istanbul. Spain is a symbol of the finest players in football, as world champions, and Turkish fans will therefore enjoy this competition. I hope to welcome fans from Spain. This Super Cup comes after great cooperation with Spain and Saudi Arabia, which has produced further examples across the world of sport. It is a very happy day for everyone: Spanish football coming to Türkiye and Istanbul, and creating bonds of cooperation, solidarity and friendship between our peoples. Istanbul is the ideal city to host a tournament such as the Super Cup. I am proud of my city and proud to live here, and to see it play host to events like this. See you in February for the Spanish Super Cup.”

On behalf of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, its chairman, H. E. Turki Alalshikh, said: “I am happy to be in Istanbul, a sister city. I would like to thank the Spanish Federation for its great work. The Super Cup will be incredible for everyone; today marks the beginning of a beautiful journey. Thank you all for your support. Without your cooperation, this event would not be possible. See you at the Super Cup.”

These included the dates and kick-off times for the semi-finals and final, as well as the three stadiums that will host the 2027 Spanish Super Cup.
