UAE–Qatar Super Cup Series

The UAE–Qatar Super Cup Series was established in 2024 as a bilateral club competition aimed at fostering competitive cooperation between UAE and Qatari football. Initially organised with a smaller set of matches, the series expanded into four distinct competitions — each with its own title — allowing a broader showcase of elite clubs from both nations. The third edition is scheduled for 22–25 January 2026, again bringing together four competitions in a multi‑day festival of football. == Competitions ==

Super Cup The Super Cup is the flagship match of the series, typically staged between high‑placing cup or league finishers from each association. It often serves as the opening match of the tournament. In 2025, Al Nasr (UAE) defeated Qatar SC with a 5–1 scoreline in the Super Cup fixture. Super Shield The Super Shield pits top league or cup teams from the UAE and Qatar in a marquee contest. In the 2025 edition, Al Wasl (UAE) won the Super Shield with a 1–0 victory over Al Sadd (Qatar) at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium in Doha. Challenge Cup The Challenge Cup represents another separate fixture in the series, often featuring club sides that qualify via different domestic achievements. At the 2025 event, Al Wahda (UAE) triumphed over Al Wakrah (Qatar) on penalties (5–4) after a 1–1 draw in regular time to win the Challenge Cup. == Format ==

Since its expansion, the series typically involves eight clubs — four from Qatar and four from the UAE — selected based on domestic league and cup performance. Each competition is a standalone single‑match fixture, and all four matches are played over a brief period (usually a long weekend or week) to maximize fan engagement. Venues alternate between both countries for the matches, with host cities including Doha and Abu Dhabi depending on the year. == Results ==
