The competition - which features the LaLiga and Copa del Rey champions and their respective runners up - will be played in three stadiums with a combined capacity of approximately 150,000. 

The final will be held at the Ali Sami Yen Stadium, which has a capacity of around 52,000 and is the home to Galatasaray.

The first semi final, between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid on February 2nd, will be played at the Chobani Stadium - Fenerbahce's home ground.

The other semi, between Real Sociedad and Real Madrid on the 3rd, is at the Tupras Stadium - home to Besiktas.

The move comes after weeks of negotiations on a venue change from Saudi Arabia, which has hosted the tournament since 2020 - with the exception of 2021 - but will be unable to host the 2027 edition due to a clash with the Asian Cup.
