The Spanish Super Cup will take place in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia in January 2023, the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) announced on Thursday.
It is the third time the tournament will take place in the Middle East, as part of a deal to keep the tournament there until 2029, worth a reported €30 million a season for the RFEF.
Reigning champions and LaLiga winners Real Madrid will face Copa del Rey runners-up Valencia in one semifinal, with cup-winners Real Betis playing Barcelona, who finished second in the league in the other.
"The three matches will be played at the King Fahd de Riyadh stadium, a spectacular venue with capacity for over 60 000 fans," said the RFEF in a statement.
The semifinals will take place on 11 and 12 January with the final on 15 January.
In the 2019-20 season, the Spanish Super Cup was played in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, but because of the coronavirus pandemic it returned to Spain in 2020/21.
Last season it returned to Saudi Arabia, being held in Riyadh where Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 2-0 in the final.
The tournament has been mired in various controversies, including Barcelona defender Gerard Pique's sports event company Kosmos being paid for helping arrange the move to Saudi Arabia, as well as concerns over human rights issues in the host country.
