MADRID — The Spanish soccer federation is looking into the possibility of playing the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia beginning next year. The idea is to play the new Super Cup in January. This year’s Italian Super Cup was played in Saudi Arabia as part of a multi-year deal worth more than 20 million euros ($22 million). The Spanish players’ association, which also complained about the Spanish league’s attempt to play in the U.S., did not oppose the idea of playing in Saudi Arabia. During its own general assembly later on Wednesday, the Spanish league voted not to support the changes proposed by the federation for the Super Cup and the Copa del Rey, saying the changes in the calendar must also be discussed with the league.
