Will Joao Neves participate in the European Super Cup against Tottenham?
The French newspaper "Le Parisien" confirmed that Portuguese player Joao Neves of Paris Saint-Germain will not face any penalties preventing him from participating in the European Super Cup match against Tottenham, despite being sent off in the 2025 Club World Cup final.
Neves received a red card during the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea on July 13, in the Club World Cup final, which raised questions about his potential absence from the European Super Cup match.
The newspaper explained, citing the regulations of the International Football Federation (FIFA), that Article 9.6 of the tournament regulations issued in October 2024 states that penalties resulting from red cards or accumulated yellow cards in Club World Cup matches do not affect other competitions.
Paris Saint-Germain has not received any official notification from UEFA regarding Neves' suspension for the Super Cup match, which is scheduled to take place on August 13 at the Friuli Stadium in Udine, Italy.
The newspaper pointed out that a suspension is only applicable if FIFA opens a specific investigation against the player, which has not happened so far, allowing coach Luis Enrique to rely on Neves in the first official match of the new season.
