Qatar-UAE Super Cup 2026/27

The **Qatar-UAE Super Cup** is a bilateral football tournament organized jointly by the Qatar Football Association and the UAE Football Association. Inaugurated in April 2024, the series aims to strengthen sporting cooperation between the two nations. It operates as a multi-trophy event rather than a single match, distinguishing it from traditional domestic super cups.

The competition features four distinct contests: the Super Cup, Super Shield, Challenge Cup, and Challenge Shield. These matches pit winners and runners-up of the respective domestic leagues and cups against each other. Specifically, the Super Cup involves the winners of the Qatar Amir Cup and the UAE President’s Cup, while the Super Shield sees the champions of the Qatar Stars League and the UAE Pro League face off. The Challenge Cup and Challenge Shield follow a similar pattern with the runners-up of the respective domestic competitions.

Initially featuring four teams and two trophies, the format expanded in 2025 to include eight teams and all four titles. Each year, the tournament brings together clubs from both countries based on their previous season performances. For instance, the 2024 edition showcased Al Arabi winning the Super Cup and Al Duhail securing the Super Shield. The following year, Al Nasr claimed the Super Cup for the UAE side, while Al Wasl took the Super Shield.

The latest edition took place in January 2026, with Al Sharjah emerging victorious in the Super Cup and Al Sadd winning the Super Shield. Additionally, Al Wahda claimed the Challenge Shield, and Al Ahli secured the Challenge Cup. This annual fixture continues to grow, providing a platform for international rivalry and footballing excellence between Qatar and the UAE. The tournament stands as a unique initiative that bridges the gap between two prominent Middle Eastern football leagues through shared competition and mutual respect.
