The UEFA Super Cup showdown between Chelsea and Villarreal will be played in Belfast on 11 August, the Irish FA has confirmed.
UEFA reportedly considered moving the game to Istanbul as compensation after the Champions League final was switched from Turkey to Portugal due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.
Windsor Park, Belfast
But the Irish FA revealed on Thursday that the game would be played at Windsor Park.
“We are delighted UEFA have confirmed that the game will stay in Belfast,” said Irish FA chief Patrick Nelson.
“We have kept in close contact with our partners at UEFA on the matter.”
Details on attendance and ticketing arrangements for the game between the Champions League and the Europa League winners are still to be finalised.
