Read our privacy policy The Spanish Super Cup is set to be expanded to a four-team tournament set to take place "outside Spain" according to a proposal by Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales. In a move that has been seen by many as baiting La Liga president Javier Tebas, who was partly frustrated in his efforts to move a domestic league game to Miami this year by the Spanish FA, Rubiales has announced that the changes would take effect this year as the RFEF look to increase revenues. The Copa del Rey and Super Cup are the only competitions that the RFEF administrate and thus their only access to two of the world's leading football brands, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. Barcelona are holders of the Spanish Super Cup While the Spanish federation have described this Final Four style competition as a "fiesta of football" it is likely to reopen the divide between Spain's FA and its top division, La Liga, whose president Javier Tebas has already chastised the proposal.
