Which team was the designated home side in the 2026 UEFA Super Cup?
Answer
Paris Saint-Germain
Paris Saint-Germain was the designated home side in the 2026 UEFA Super Cup.
UEFA designated the Champions League winners as the home team for administrative purposes. Paris had won the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League, while Aston Villa qualified as the Europa League winners, so Paris occupied the home-team listing.
This designation did not mean the match was played in Paris. The final took place at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg, Austria, a neutral venue selected for the Super Cup.
Paris defeated Aston Villa 2–1. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Désiré Doué scored for the designated home side, while Brian Madjo equalised for Villa shortly before half-time.
