Iraq FA unveils new Super Cup trophy design, confirms four-team format

BAGHDAD, Iraq — The Iraqi Football Federation on Saturday unveiled the redesigned trophy for next season's Iraq Super Cup, coinciding with the adoption of an expanded four-team format for the competition. The new look was introduced alongside a change to the tournament structure. Under the revised format, the Super Cup will feature the top four finishers from the Iraqi Premier League rather than the traditional two-club matchup. The league champion will face the fourth-placed team, while the runner-up will take on the third-placed side in December semifinals. The final is scheduled for several days later. The federation said the trophy was redesigned to reflect the tournament's new structure and depart from the appearance of previous editions. The winner of the final will be crowned Super Cup champion for the season. No further details on the trophy design or hosting arrangements were immediately available.
