The Supercoppa Italiana between Juventus and Napoli is set to be played in Doha in December the Lega Serie A have confirmed.

The fixture, played between the champions of Serie A and the winners of the Coppa Italia is usually played before the season starts but this year due to Napoli’s participation in the Champions League playoffs, it had to be postponed.

Lega Serie A president Maurizio Beretta and Qatar Football Association general secretary Saoud Al Mohannadi confirmed the match will be played on December 22, 2014 in Doha, Qatar.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to be able to export the Supercoppa in an interesting and prestigious country like Qatar,” Beretta said.

The two teams faced each other in the competition two years ago in Beijing with the Bianconeri winning 4-2 after extra time, while Juve overcame Lazio 4-0 in last year’s match.
