Teams Set for the UEFA Super Cup 2026

Paris Saint-Germain are the reigning back-to-back Champions League winners. Their attack features stars like 2025 Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembélé alongside Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The team is supported by defenders Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi plus midfielders Vitinha and Joao Neves.

PSG secured their title after a penalty shootout win against Arsenal, following tough matches versus Monaco, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich. They demonstrated their dominance in Europe throughout the tournament.

Aston Villa, led by Unai Emery, claimed their fifth Europa League trophy—the most by any manager. Villa won comfortably against Lille, Bologna, Nottingham Forest, and Freiburg en route to their historic victory.

Despite entering as underdogs against PSG's formidable squad, Villa draw motivation from Tottenham's strong 2025 performance, where they pushed PSG to penalties before losing.
