MADRID: The Spanish Super Cup tournament will be played in Saudi Arabia in January 2020, a source from the national soccer association told Reuters on Monday , confirming long-mooted plans that have already attracted criticism in and outside Spain.

A ban on women attending soccer matches in the deeply conservative Muslim kingdom was lifted in 2017 as part of a wider easing of social restrictions championed by Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman. The federation source said the organisation can guarantee women will face no restrictions on entering the stadium during the Spanish Super Cup.
