2019 Supercopa |
The Supercopa Mydraziane, or simply Supercopa, otherwise known as the Vilista Shield, is an annual men's association football competition held at the Stade Nationale the week before the beginning of the Midrasian football season. The competition is contested between the winner of the highest footballing division Liga Premiére during the previous season, and the current holders of the Copa de Mydra, Midrasia's main domestic cup competition. If the same team wins both competitions, they will play the team which finished in 2nd place in Liga Premiére. The competition is seen as a 'curtain-raiser' to the new footballing season, though in recent years the competition has come to be seen as more of a friendly tournament than a major domestic honour.
The current holders are AC Lotric who defeated Olympique de Lotrique 5-4 on penalties after a 0-0 draw in the 2019 match.
History
With the development of the professional Midrasian football league in 1905, rivalling the pre-established dominance of the Copa de Mydra, the Midrasian football federation took the decision to create a tournament for the following season which sought to unify both competitions. This decision was taken first to build momentum around the newly founded league but to also to change perceptions that the league was created to compete with the Football Federation-founded Copa rather than supplement it. The creation of the Supercopa led many teams such as Pelosiens, who had previously boycotted the league in solidarity with the FFM, to join the competition the following season.
The first Supercopa was won by FC Mydroll who defeated Pelosiens 2-1.
Before the construction of the Stade Nationale in 1958 the final was held at a neutral venue depending on the teams involved in the competition. Throughout the life of the competition, particularly during the 2010s, there have been attempts to host the tournament outside of the country in order to bring Midrasian football to overseas audiences. However, this move has always been vetoed by the Midrasian Football federation.
In 1962 after the retirement of Midrasian footballing legend Vilista, the was informally nicknamed the Vilista Shield after Midrasia and the tournament's all-time top goalscorer at the time, having found the net seven times in only three appearances.
The record for most tournament wins is held by Olympique de Lotrique who have won a total of 20 titles and have competed in 30 editions of the competition, the most of any team. The most common match-up within the competition is between Olympique de Lotrique and FC Almiaro who have contested the Supercopa a record seven times.
