The Council also awarded the cup-title 'Dubai Super Cup' to AMH Sports, a UAE organisation that is passionate about sports and everything football.
The Dubai Super Cup was launched under the patronage of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai Sports Council.
The tournament is poised to enhance the sports tourism sector and pave the way for more international tournaments.
The Dubai Super Cup 2022 tournament matches will be held at Al Maktoum Stadium in Al Nasr Sports Club between December 8 and 16.
During the official press conference of the tournament, organisers revealed the names of the international football clubs participating in the maiden tournament. These include six-time Champions League winners Liverpool FC; 14time FA Cup winners Arsenal FC; seven-time Champions League winners AC Milan, and finally, Olympique Lyonnais, eight-time winners of the French Cup.
As football fever grips the world, these matches are set to be held on December 8, 11, 13 and 16 — the off days of the World Cup, and they are officially sanctioned matches by Fifa, UEFA and the Asian Football Federation.
While football fans everywhere are heading to the World Cup 2022 in Qatar, the Dubai Super Cup is slated to attract a large number of fans and media attention, as it brings together popular teams catering to a wide audience and a distinctive style of play.
