Which country hosted the first UEFA Super Cup played in Austria in 2026?

The story behind the answer

Austria hosted the first UEFA Super Cup played in the country in 2026.

The match took place at Red Bull Arena in the Salzburg area, where Paris Saint-Germain defeated Aston Villa 2–1. This was Austria’s first hosting of the UEFA Super Cup, adding a national milestone to the fixture.

Austria had hosted other major European club matches before 2026, including European Cup and Champions League finals in Vienna. Those events were concentrated at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion, while the Super Cup brought a major UEFA final to Salzburg for the first time.

The venue is often identified by two names. Red Bull Arena is its regular name and the home stadium of Red Bull Salzburg; UEFA used Stadion Salzburg in its competition material. The country, however, remains Austria in either description.
