Saudi Arabia’s General Sports Authority has confirmed that the country will host next season’s Supercoppa between Juventus and Milan.
The news was confirmed in a tweet on the GSA’s official account, although the organisation erroneously referred to the Supercoppa as ‘the Serie A Final’ between the Scudetto holders and Coppa Italia runners-up.
The deal between Saudi Arabia and Lega Serie A is reportedly worth around €7m, with 45 percent each for Juve and Milan and 10% going to the League.
