UEFA has announced that Cardiff City Stadium will host the 2014 European Super Cup.
The annual match, which pits the winners of the previous season’s Champions League against the winners of the Europa League, has been held at Monaco’s Stade Louis II since 1998, however the principality will host for a final time this year before handing over to Eden Park in Prague for the 2013 edition and Cardiff in 2014.
First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones said: “This is fantastic news and confirms once again how our capital city is in the ‘champions league’ itself when it comes to hosting world class sporting events. “The European Super Cup will be a major boost to not only to the city, but also for the global profile of Wales.”
