Following FC Barcelona’s victory in Sunday’s thrilling final against Real Madrid—watched by packed stands in Jeddah and millions of viewers around the world—the Spanish Super Cup has concluded a new and highly successful edition, accompanied by numerous activities both on and off the pitch.

During his stay in Saudi Arabia, the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) made the most of the occasion to carry out a wide-ranging institutional agenda. This included working with the various clubs and stakeholders of Spanish football present in Jeddah, as well as strengthening ties with local authorities and Spanish professionals currently working in the region.

“The Spanish Super Cup is not only a sporting event with global impact and the first major trophy of the football season; it is also an event open to everyone,” Rafael Louzán writes in his review of recent days, referring to a competition that “more than 500 million people can enjoy across the length and breadth of the planet.”

While in Jeddah, the RFEF president met with the senior officials of the four participating teams; inaugurated the first International Congress of Spanish Coaches (CIDE) ever held outside Spain; held a meeting with representatives of the 80 grassroots clubs that travelled to Saudi Arabia to experience the tournament firsthand; strengthened and established new lines of joint work with the Saudi Football Federation; spent time with fans at the spectacular Fan Zone located on the shores of the Red Sea; and presided over the official reception for the finalists, as well as the institutional events held prior to each of the tournament’s three matches.

For all these reasons, Louzán подчеркes that in a Super Cup accredited with more than 400 journalists and followed on a global scale, “only one team lifts the trophy, but this tournament benefits the entire Spanish football family,” referring to the resources generated by the competition, particularly in support of the country’s more modest clubs and players.
