Real Madrid
will face city rivals Atletico Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup semi-finals in
Saudi Arabia, while Barcelona play Osasuna, the Spanish federation said
Wednesday.
Copa del Rey
winners Madrid will face Atletico in Riyadh on January 10, while La Liga
champions Barcelona take on the Spanish cup runners up on January 11.
The final
will take place on January 14, with all games to be held at Al-Nassr's Al-Awwal
Park Stadium in the Saudi capital.
Al-Nassr is
the club where former Real Madrid striker and the club's all-time top
goalscorer Cristiano Ronaldo currently plays, along with Sadio Mane and Amyeric
Laporte among other recent imports from European football.
The RFEF
first took the Spanish Super Cup to Saudi Arabia in 2019, where it has been
played since, with the exception of the 2020-21 season because of the Covid-19
pandemic.
