As the date of the long-awaited Italian Super Cup TIM approaches, the Local Organising Committee (LOC) will be releasing the first batch of tickets for sale on Qatar Football Association (QFA) website starting from noon today.
The Supercoppa TIM is set to take place at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium, home of Al Sadd SC, on December 23 at 7:30pm, and will be played between 2015-16 Serie A champions and Coppa Italia winners Juventus and 2015-16 Coppa Italia runners-up AC Milan.
Hosting of this match was officially announced on October 3 during the Aspire4sport Global Summit on Football Performance & Science in Amsterdam.
The LOC, which comprises representatives of the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC), the QFA, and Qatar Stars League (QSL), is delighted to host the Italian Super Cup TIM in Doha.
The LOC is anticipating that the first batch of online tickets will sell in a matter of hours after their release, especially since Juventus and AC Milan have a significant fan-base in Qatar and the Middle East.
Each fan can buy up to four tickets from either category 1 tickets (QR250) or category 2 tickets (QR150). Fans can visit www.qfa.qa for more details.
The LOC has also revealed that tickets will go on sale in shopping malls across Qatar, which will be announced at a later date on QFA’s social media channels.  
Held annually, the first edition of the historic Supercoppa TIM was held in 1988, with Juventus holding the record of most wins in this competition, followed by AC Milan, with seven and six wins respectively.
Hosting this Cup in Qatar for the second time is a reflection of the strong relationship between the Italian and Qatari football governing bodies, and the highly successful organisation in Doha of the 2014 Supercoppa TIM between Juventus and Napoli.
It is the second time that the Italian Super Cup TIM will be played in the Qatari capital. In 2014, Napoli had won on penalties.
