Real Sociedad now have the full schedule for the 2027 Spanish Super Cup, a tournament to be held in Istanbul where the Basque side will face Real Madrid in the semi-finals. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, 3 February at 20:00 local time at the Tüpras Stadium, home of Beşiktaş with a capacity of 42,000.
The official presentation of the tournament took place this Thursday in the Turkish city, which will host the competition on a provisional basis. RFEF president Rafael Louzán took part in the event to detail the format, which is changing venue due to the Asian Cup being held in Saudi Arabia at the same time. From 2028 onwards, the Arab nation will resume its role as host.
Real Sociedad's Path
Real Sociedad qualify for the Super Cup by right after winning the Copa del Rey last season. Their opponent in the first knockout round will be Real Madrid, the league runners-up. The other semi-final will see La Liga champions FC Barcelona take on Copa del Rey runners-up Atlético de Madrid on Tuesday, 2 February at the Chobani Stadium Fenerbahçe.
The final is scheduled for Saturday, 6 February at 20:00 at the Ali Sami Yen Sports Complex-RAMS Park, Galatasaray's stadium with a 53,000-seat capacity. The winner of the clash between Real Sociedad and Madrid will contest that decisive match.
For Real Sociedad supporters, this draw offers another chance to take on the Madrid giants in an official competition, a fixture that always generates excitement. Imanol Alguacil's team will aim to repeat their cup heroics on an international stage.
The move to Turkey adds a logistical and travel factor for all four participating clubs. The organisers have chosen to use three different stadiums in the same city, all with capacities above 40,000. This format, condensed into less than a week, promises high competitive intensity.
The squad will have to adapt their preparation for a long trip in the middle of the season. The coaching staff are already working on plans to approach this break with the best possible guarantees, a challenge that adds to the demands of the domestic campaign. The squad's status and any potential absences can be followed in our injuries section.
With the Copa del Rey draw still to come, the Super Cup is shaping up as the first tangible trophy objective of the season. For Real Sociedad, defending their Copa del Rey title in this new format provides extra motivation. The match against Madrid in Istanbul will be the first step.
