The UEFA Super Cup final between 2022/2023 Champions League winner, Manchester City and Europa League winners, Sevilla would take place at the Georgios Karaiskakis stadium, Greece.
Last season, Manchester City won the Champions Leagie for the first time and Sevilla won the Europa League for a record seventh time.
Panagiotis Baltakos, President of the Hellenic Football Federation gave a welcome speech for the highly anticipated match.
“I welcome you to Greece, the country which gave birth to democracy, philosophy, theatre, poetry and the Olympic Games.”
“For Greek football and the Hellenic Football Federation, it is a great honour to host the 2023 UEFA Super Cup at the Georgios Karaiskakis stadium, with the participation of two major clubs, UEFA Champions League winners Manchester City and UEFA Europa League victors Sevilla.”
“Hosting this great contest in our country is the beginning of a warm welcome to major football events, with the UEFA Europa Conference League final taking place at the Agia Sofia Stadium in May 2024.”
“All of this is tangible evidence of the upward trajectory of Greek football and the progress made in recent times.”
“In addition, this uptrend can be seen through our revived men’s national team, as well as the forward strides taken by our other national sides.”
“Greek football is ready to meet the challenge of hosting the UEFA Super Cup, always with the undivided support and help of UEFA, as well as the upcoming great challenges ahead, for which we are working hard and methodically.”
“I welcome you again with the certainty that we will witness a football match worthy of the fame and history of the two clubs.”
