Among the football trophies in Italy, the Super Cup stands out. In 2014, this honorary prize will be awarded to the winning team for the 26th time. The match for the title of the trophy will take place before the start of the new Italian football season.
The right to participate in the match for the Italian Football Super Cup goes to the victors of the Italian Championship last season and the winner of the National Cup of the same time. In the 2013-2014 season, the legendary Juventus from Turin won the championship in Italy for the third time in a row. This club set a new Italian record in Serie A. Juventus managed to score 102 points in 38 league games. This is a very impressive result. The football players from Naples became the triumphants of the Italian Football Cup in the 2013-2014 season. Club Napoli beat Fiorentina 3 - 1 in the final match.
The Italian Super Cup will take place at the National Stadium in Beijing in August 2014. China has been hosting such an important football match in its capital for the third year in a row. This decision was made by the Italian Football Federation to popularize football in the Asian country.
For the last two seasons, the Italian Super Cup will certainly be in the possession of the Turin football grandee Juventus. In total, Turin footballers have won this honorable trophy six times in their history. The non-Pitans have celebrated victory only once. In 2012, Juventus and Napoli met in the Super Cup match. Then the Turin team won with a score of 4 - 2.
It is very difficult to talk about the favorites of the confrontation at the moment. If it were not for the recent staffing problems in Juventus (Conte's departure from the post of coach), the club from Turin would have looked more preferable in the title of the main contender for the trophy. Now the situation is completely unpredictable. Only one thing is clear, the team that is better prepared for the new season will win.
