PSG and Tottenham Face Strict UEFA Rules On Using Super Cup Trophies

UEFA have strict rule PSG and Spurs must follow no matter who wins the Super Cup

PSG and Spurs meet in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday night and the winner must follow a strict rule put in place.

Paris Saint-Germain or Spurs will have to follow a strict rule if they get their hands on the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday night.

The Champions League and Europa League winners lock horns at Bluenergy Stadium, home of Serie A side Udinese, in what is the 50th edition of the annual fixture.

PSG, who left out Gianluigi Donnarumma out of the squad, have appeared in the game before back in 1996 when they won the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup and ended up losing 9-2 in a two-legged thrashing at the hands of Champions League winners Juventus.

It is Spurs’ debut after they ended a 17-year trophy drought by beating Manchester United in the final in Bilbao but both sides need to be aware of a regulation put in place by UEFA.

The winner will of course get their hands on the trophy, which is 58cm and 12.2kg, as well as 50 gold medals.

But they only have that piece of silverware for the official presentation as that is kept in UEFA’s clutches. Instead, the winners get a full-size replica that belongs to them.

However, if the club plan to leave their country of residence with the trophy – they must receive written permission from UEFA.
