Supercoppa (Italy), 2024, all matches

The Italian Super Cup, also known as the Supercoppa Italiana, is an annual football match that traditionally opens the Italian football season. The match pits the winners of Serie A against the winners of the Coppa Italia from the previous season. If one team wins both competitions, their opponent is the runner-up of Serie A.

The 2023/2024 season marked the first time in the history of the Supercoppa Italiana that the competition was expanded to a four-team format. The competition featured the winners and runners-up of Serie A and Coppa Italia. The semi-finals and final were held in January 2024.

The final, held on 22 January 2024, saw Inter beat Napoli 1-0. Lautaro Martinez scored the only goal of the match in the 91st minute, giving Inter their eighth title in the competition's history. The match was held at the King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, continuing the tradition of hosting the tournament outside of Italy, which has helped to increase the popularity of Italian football on the international stage.

The semi-finals also provided fans with many interesting moments. Inter comfortably defeated Lazio 3-0, thanks to goals from Marcus Thuram, Davide Frattesi and a penalty from Hakan Calhanoglu. Napoli, in turn, beat Fiorentina with a minimal score of 1-0, which ensured their progression to the final.

The history of the Supercoppa Italiana began in 1988, and since then the tournament has become an important part of the Italian football calendar. The most successful club in the history of the tournament is Juventus, which has won the trophy nine times. However, recent years have shown that other clubs, such as Inter and Milan, can also compete for this prestigious trophy.

The Supercoppa Italiana regulations include several key rules. In the event of a draw at the end of regular time, the match goes into extra time. If there is no winner, a penalty shootout is held to determine the winner. This format ensures maximum tension and entertainment in each match, making it an unforgettable experience for fans.

The expansion of the tournament to four teams in 2023/2024 has added a new level of competition. Now the tournament includes not only the winners of Serie A and the Italian Cup, but also the finalists of these competitions, which allows for more interesting matches and reveals the strongest team among the best in Italy.

The Supercoppa Italiana continues to evolve and adapt, offering fans new formats and attracting attention both nationally and internationally.
