The idea of an Argentine "Supercup" came up in 2012 when the
Argentine Football Association (AFA), in an attempt to bring innovation to the current system, established a competition that would be contested by champions of
Primera División and
Copa Argentina, taking inspiration from European cups. The "Superfinal" was a short-lived national cup contested by champions of Inicial and Final tournaments to decide the champion of the entire season. Although Copa Campeonato was in fact a national cup, the 2013 edition won by Vélez Sársfield defeating Newell's Old Boys was considered by AFA as a league title, therefore Vélez Sársfield played the Supercopa as Primera División champion. As the
2019–20 Copa Argentina edition had been delayed due to
COVID-19 pandemic (it ended in December 2021, being won by
Boca Juniors) the AFA did not held the 2020 Supercopa. Instead, the Association chose to held the 2021 edition, scheduling it for March 2022. In October 2022, it was announced that the Supercopa will be held in
Abu Dhabi,
United Arab Emirates, after an agreement between the
Argentine Football Association (AFA) and the local Sports Council which includes four editions of the competition (up to 2026). out of the competition. No reasons were given after the decision. Finally the AFA created an international version of Supercopa Argentina named "
Supercopa Internacional" to be held in Abu Dhabi to fulfil the previous commitment, contested between winners of Primera División and
Trofeo de Campeones. On the other hand, the Supercopa Argentina will continue as usually. == List of champions ==
