Istanbul to host 2027 Spanish Super Cup
ISTANBUL: The 2027 Spanish Super Cup will be played in Istanbul, LaLiga champions Barcelona said on Thursday, as the four-team event moved from Saudi Arabia for the first time since 2021. Next year’s knockout tournament featuring Barca, LaLiga runners-up Real Madrid, Copa del Rey winners Real Sociedad and finalists Atletico Madrid will take place from February 2 to 7. “The venue this time will be the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul,” Barcelona said in a statement. “The tournament had been played in Saudi Arabia in recent years, but the country was ruled out this year as the Asian Cup is being played there at the same time.

Yeah, a couple of ailments rolled into one, unfortunately, but I’m getting there, which is good news.” O’Neill led Celtic to the Scottish title and the Scottish Cup last season in his second of two spells as interim boss during a turbulent campaign for the Glasgow club.

But O’Neill has a third recruit since the end of last season following the arrival on Wednesday of Egypt winger Haissem Hassan from Spanish side Real Oviedo. “We’d been tracking him in January time.
