SAUDI ARABIA PULLS OUT OF HOSTING SPANISH SUPER CUP
This season’s Spanish Super Cup will be played in the region of Andalusia and not in Saudi Arabia in January due to the coronavirus pandemic, El Pais newspaper reported on Saturday (Dec 12).
The Spanish football federation (RFEF) agreed a three-year deal worth a reported €120 million (S$194 million) with the Saudi sports authority in 2019 to expand the competition and play the game in the Middle East.
Real Madrid were crowned champions of the first edition of the four-team competition held in Jeddah in January.
