Located at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, the imposing Al Jawhara Stadium, with a capacity of 60,000 spectators, will host the 2025 Spanish Super Cup. This venue, which previously hosted the 2020 edition where Real Madrid were crowned champions, will welcome Athletic Club, FC Barcelona, RCD Mallorca, and, once again, the famous team in white.

Inaugurated in March 2014, it is the home of Al-Ittihad Jeddah and was also home to Al-Ahli Saudi FC until their relegation to the Second Division, when they moved to a stadium with a smaller capacity.

On 16 January 2019, Al Jawhara hosted the Italian Super Cup, where Juventus of Turin won the trophy after defeating AC Milan 1-0.

The stadium's attendance record was set during a friendly match between Argentina and Brazil in October 2028, where the venue was at full capacity.

The three matches in the 2025 Spanish Super Cup, the two semifinals and the final, will be played in the "shining jewel," a nickname also used for the stadium, and it is precisely aiming to shine that the four teams will aim to do as they compete for the title starting today.
