Real Madrid will look to add another piece of silverware to its bulging trophy cabinet when they face German side Eintracht Frankfurt in the 2022 UEFA Super Cup on August 10.
This is the first Super Cup match that Eintracht will be playing in its history and it claimed its spot by virtue of winning the UEFA Europa League. Real Madrid are there as winners of the UEFA Champions League.
Seven of the last nine Super Cup matches have gone to extra time and the last edition in 2021 required penalty kicks, which saw Chelsea emerge victorious over Spanish side Villarreal.

What is the UEFA Super Cup?
The UEFA Super Cup sees the winners of the two most important European trophies facing off: the UEFA Champions League holders taking on the winners of the Europa League. For the 2022 edition that means Real Madrid facing Eintracht Frankfurt.
The event is a single-game final which typically takes place on Aug. 10 at the start of the European season. If there's a draw at the end of 90 minutes, extra time and, if necessary, a penalty shootout will determine the winner.
The Super Cup was first held in 1973 and in the early years it was typically a two-leg affair between the winner of the precursor to the Champions League (European Cup) against the winner of the Cup Winners' Cup which was a competition reserved for domestic cup winners from each country.
Beginning in 1998, the single-game final format took hold with the match hosted in Monaco for 15 years. In 2013 UEFA opened it up to various venues across Europe and Helsinki will be the 10th different venue in 10 years.
Where is the 2022 UEFA Super Cup?
This year's UEFA Super Cup will take place at the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki, Finland. The stadium was previously a venue for the UEFA Women's World Cup in 2009.
