The Supercupa României (English: Romanian Supercup) is a one-off football match in Romania that features the winners of the Liga I and the Cupa României. It is usually played at the Arena Națională in Bucharest. Starting with 2009, if the same team wins both competitions, then the Liga I runner-up will play the against it.
The competition started off in 1994, with the first edition being won by Steaua București.
Throughout its history, the Romanian Super Cup has often been dominated by the country’s biggest clubs. Steaua București / FCSB and Dinamo București were particularly successful in the early years, reflecting their dominance in Romanian football during the 1990s and early 2000s. Later, other clubs such as CFR Cluj, Viitorul Constanța, Astra Giurgiu, Petrolul Ploiești, FC Voluntari, and Sepsi Sfântu Gheorghe also managed to win the trophy, showing the increasing competitiveness of Romanian football.
Matches are usually played at the beginning of the new season, often in July, and sometimes hosted in different cities across Romania to promote the competition nationally. In many cases the Super Cup has provided memorable moments, including dramatic matches decided by penalty shoot-outs.
Sponsorship
On 22 July 2005, FRF and Samsung Electronics signed a one-year sponsorship deal. The name of the competition was changed to Supercupa României Samsung for the 2005 and 2006 editions.[1]
On 9 October 2006, FRF and Ursus Breweries (part of the SABMiller group) signed a sponsorship agreement for the next three seasons. Ursus Breweries changed the name of the competition to Supercupa României Timișoreana, after the Timișoreana beer brand.[2][3]
