Russia - Super Cup

The Russian Super Cup (Russian: Суперкубок России) is an association football trophy in Russia. It is the equivalent of the Community Shield in England and the Supercopa de Espana in Spain.

The competition was founded in 2003 and is run by the Russian Football Union. It is played as a single match between the champions of the Russian Premier League and the holders of the Russian Cup. If the same club wins the Russian Premier League and the Russian Cup, the second-placed side of the top-flight league becomes the other participant. The game is held at the beginning of a new season.

The Russia Super Cup is played for 90 minutes. If no winner emerges in regulation time, 30 minutes of extra-time are played. Penalty shoot-outs become the ultimate resort if no winner emerges after 120 minutes of football.

Lokomotiv Moscow was the first club to win the Russian Super Cup in 2003. In 2007, CSKA Moscow became the first club in the history of the competition to win the trophy back to back, having won the 2006 edition.
