Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Sport announced that the country will host the Italian Super Cup in Riyadh from January 2 to 6, 2025. The tournament will feature four clubs, including Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, and Atalanta BC. The Italian Super Cup is being held in Saudi Arabia for the fifth time.

The 37th edition of the tournament will be played in a four-team format, which includes two knockout semi-finals and the final. The first semifinal will be Inter-Atalanta (January 2), and the second will be Juventus-Milan (January 3). The final between the semifinal winners will take place on January 6. It is to be noted that the final four of the Super Cup include the Serie A champions, runners-up, and the Italian Cup winners and finalists.

The Kingdom has hosted the Italian Super Cup four times. The first was in Jeddah in 2018, when Juventus defeated AC Milan to secure the title. The tournament moved to Riyadh in 2019, and Lazio won the trophy after defeating Juventus. In 2022, Inter Milan emerged victorious against their rivals AC Milan. The recent tournament occurred earlier this year, and Inter Milan successfully defended their title by defeating Napoli.
