The Telegraph reported that the European Football Association (UEFA) is studying significant changes to the UEFA Super Cup, transforming it into a competition featuring four teams (with two semi-final matches and a final).

Currently, the UEFA Super Cup is held between the champions of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League, before the start of each new season.

According to the report, the new version of the tournament may take place outside of Europe, with the United States or a Middle Eastern country likely to host it, as part of UEFA's efforts to boost audience attendance and increase commercial returns.

UEFA has not disclosed additional details regarding the qualification mechanism for the new tournament or the timelines for implementing the proposed system.

This potential move is part of a broader trend by UEFA to develop its tournaments and reshape some competitions, especially after the changes to the FIFA Club World Cup format.
