The Spanish Super Cup: History of a Trophy that Crowns the “King of Kings”

Every January, Spanish football comes to a halt to crown the season’s super-champion. But how was this tournament born, and what secrets are hidden behind the trophy that everyone dreams of lifting?

The Origin of the Competition Although we know it today in its current format, the Super Cup has deep roots. Its most direct predecessor was the Eva Duarte Cup, played between 1947 and 1953. After a few years of absence, the competition was officially refounded in 1982, originally pitting the La Liga champion against the Copa del Rey winner. Since 2020, the tournament has evolved into an exciting “Final Four” format.

Anatomy of Success: The Trophy Beyond the goals and medals, the main visual star is the Super Cup Trophy.

• Imposing Design: It is a classic piece of silversmithing made of sterling silver, resting on a fine wood base where the team crests and the history of champions are engraved.

• Symbolism: It maintains a traditional aesthetic that evokes the long-standing prestige of football.

• Identity: Much like the work we do at Laudos, this trophy proves that the significance of an achievement requires a physical representation that meets the occasion.

A Lasting Symbol Every year, a new club engraves its name on this trophy. At Laudos, we perfectly understand that feeling: creating a piece that not only celebrates a victory today but preserves history forever.
