History of the Spanish Super Cup

The history of the Supercopa de España (at that time, the Copa del Generalísimo) began in 1941, when teams Atlético Madrid and Espanyol met. In 1945, the Cup was renamed the Argentina Gold Cup (Copa de Oro Argentina) and from 1947 to 1953, the Copa Eva Duarte.

From 1953 until 1982, the tournament was not held.

From the 2019-20 season onwards, the format of the tournament has changed to be a “Final Four” tournament.
