Super Cup (Germany), 2024, all matches
The German Super Cup, also known as the DFL-Supercup, is an annual football match between the winner of the Bundesliga and the winner of the German Cup (DFB-Pokal) from the previous season. The tournament opens the new season in German football and is held under the auspices of the German Football League (DFL).
The history of the German Super Cup dates back to 1987. Since its inception, the tournament has become an important event in the German football calendar, attracting millions of fans. If a team wins both the Bundesliga and the German Cup, it will face the runner-up of the Bundesliga in the Super Cup.
Bayern Munich is the most successful club in the history of the German Super Cup, having won the trophy 11 times. The next most successful club is Borussia Dortmund with 6 trophies.
The last German Super Cup took place in 2023, where RB Leipzig met Bayern Munich. The match took place at the Allianz Arena in Munich and ended with a 3-0 victory for RB Leipzig. This victory was the first in the history of RB Leipzig in the German Super Cup.
One of the key players in the match was Dani Olmo, who scored a hat-trick, demonstrating his exceptional form. His contribution to this match was decisive for the success of RB Leipzig. It is also worth noting the excellent performance of the team's goalkeeper, who did not allow a single goal into his own net.
The German Super Cup not only determines the readiness of teams for the new season, but also often becomes a platform for the debut of new players and coaches. In 2023, RB Leipzig coach Marco Rose managed to set his team up for a successful performance against Bayern.
An interesting fact is that the German Super Cup often takes place in different stadiums, changing the venue, which allows more fans from different regions of the country to enjoy the spectacle. In recent years, matches have been held at famous arenas such as the Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund and the Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg.
The history of the tournament is full of dramatic and memorable moments. For example, in 2019, Borussia Dortmund beat Bayern Munich 2-0, which was a clear confirmation of the competitiveness of German football and the importance of the Super Cup in preparing for the season.
