There are dates for the second edition of the reformed four-team Spanish Super Cup, which will be played in Saudi Arabia. 

According to Diario AS, Barcelona, as runners-up in La Liga, Real Madrid, as champions, and Copa del Rey finalists Athletic Club and Real Sociedad will take part in the competition in January. 

The semifinals will be played in Jeddah on Jan. 13 and Jan. 14 and the final will then be played on Jan. 16. 

Last season was the first edition of the revised Super Cup played in Saudi Arabia and it saw Real Madrid win the trophy. 

Barcelona were beaten by Atletico Madrid in the semifinal 3-2, a result which ended up costing Ernesto Valverde his job. 

Madrid beat Valencia in the other semifinal and then went on to beat city rivals Atletico in the final. 

Despite the coronavirus pandemic, the RFEF remain keen on playing the Super Cup in Saudi Arabia this January and as such are pushing ahead with arrangements.
