Serie A: Champions Juventus will take on Coppa Italia winners Napoli in Doha

Juventus: Celebrate their win against Napoli in the 2012 Supercup in Beijing

Serie A champions Juventus will take on Coppa Italia winners Napoli in the Italian SuperCup final in Doha on December 22, the Lega Serie A announced on Monday.

For the first time the tie will be staged in December and not in August while the game will be played for the seventh occasion on foreign soil.

"We are greateful for the opportunity to export our TIM Supercup in such an interesting and prestigious country as Qatar is," Lega Serie A president Maurizio Beretta said on www.legaseriea.it.

The past three Italian Supercups were played in Beijing.

Juve have lifted the trophy six times, including in each of the past two years.

Napoli have won it just once, in 1990, and more recently finished runners-up to Juve in 2012.
