Venue
This will be the first UEFA Super Cup to be held in Austria, and the first major European final to be played in Salzburg. It will be the seventh major European club final to be played in Austria, after four in the European Cup/Champions League (1964, 1987, 1990, 1995), one in the Cup Winners' Cup (1970) and one in the UEFA Cup (1994 first leg), all of which were held at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion in Vienna.[6] The Red Bull Arena is the home stadium of Red Bull Salzburg, and has a capacity of 30,071. The venue opened in 2003, and hosted three group stage matches at UEFA Euro 2008.[7] It will be known as Stadion Salzburg in UEFA communications due to their restrictions on third-party sponsorship.[8]
Host selection
The Red Bull Arena was selected as the host by the UEFA Executive Committee during their meeting in Tirana, Albania, on 11 September 2025.[3]
