01.07.12 13:40
In 2015 the match will be held at the Mikheil Meskhi Stadium in Tbilisi, Georgia, UEFA General Secretary Gianni Infantino said at a press conference in Kyiv on Saturday.
He said that the UEFA Executive Committee awarded the UEFA Super Cup to Cardiff in 2014 and Tbilisi in 2015 at a meeting on Saturday.
The match between the winners of the Champions League and Europa League is the traditional curtain raiser to the European club season and has been staged at the Stade Louis II in Monaco since 1998.
This year`s match between Champions League winners Chelsea and Europa League winners Atletico Madrid will be the last staged in the principality with next year`s game already awarded to Prague`s Eden Stadium.
From 2014 the match will be held in the middle, rather than the end, of August pending ratification of the new international calendar from which the unpopular August international friendly date will be dropped.
