Napoli booked a spot in the final by beating AC Milan 2-0 on Thursday.

Riccardo Orsolini levelled the scores for Italian Cup holders Bologna with his penalty 10 minutes before halftime, cancelling out Marcus Thuram's early volleyed opener for Inter.

Vincenzo Italiano's players held their nerve better in the shoot-out, with Alessandro Bastoni, Nicolo Barella and Ange-Yoan Bonny all failing from the spot for Inter.

Traditionally featuring the Serie A and Italian Cup champions, since 2023 the Italian Super Cup has also included the runners-up from league and cup.

The four-team tournament is contracted to be held in Saudi Arabia until 2029.
