About Super Cup
The France Super Cup, also known as Trophée des Champions, is a men's football trophy contested annually between the champions of Ligue 1 and the winners of the Coupe de France. Reinstated in 1995 by the France Football Federation (FFF) after the old contest was scrapped due to its unpopularity in previous years, the match is played at the beginning of every new season and is hosted at varied venues.
Occasionally, it is played outside France after it was announced by the FFF that it will be hosted at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, Quebec, Canada for the first time in history in 2009. It has since been held in Tunisia, Morocco, the United States, Gabon, and China.
The inaugural match of the France Super Cup was played between Paris Saint-Germain and Nantes in January 1996 at the Stade Francis-Le Blé in Brest. Les Parisien won the first trophy under the new name by winning 6-5 on penalties after a 2-2 draw in regulation time.
