Saudi-Egyptian Super Cup

The Saudi-Egyptian Super Cup is an occasional competition organised by the Saudi and Egyptian football federations, between the league and cup champions from each federation. The cup winners from each federation participated in the President el-Sisi's Cup Winners' Super Cup, and the league winners in the King Salman's League Winners' Super Cup, and in 2022, the Lusail Super Cup. The initial competition took place only in three seasons: the first in 2001, the second in 2003, and the last in 2018. The renamed Lusail Super Cup took place in 2022 in order to showcase the Lusail Stadium, the site of the FIFA World Cup final later that year.[1] This cup is considered a friendly tournament and is typically not taken into consideration when counting the clubs' official trophies.
