Supercup
Supercup ( English for Super Cup) is a competition in sport in which the winners of two competitions compete against each other. In contrast to the unification fight , however, the merging of the winning titles is not intended. Also, the title is by no means to be seen as the highest of the respective association, much more it is a lot lower in sporting value compared to the others. Supercup competitions are mainly played in football - mostly as a game between champions and cup winners of a country.
