German Supercup Renamed to Honor Franz Beckenbauer

Starting in 2025, the annual match between the Bundesliga champion and DFB-Pokal winner will be called the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup.

The Deutsche Fußball Liga (DFL) and the German Football Association (DFB) announced the renaming of the Supercup to honor Franz Beckenbauer's legacy.
The first Franz Beckenbauer Supercup will take place on August 16, 2025, marking the start of the 2025/26 Bundesliga season.
The match's logo and branding will be updated, with potential changes to the event's overall presentation and framework.
Franz Beckenbauer, who passed away on January 7, 2024, is celebrated as one of the greatest footballers in history, having won World Cups as both a player and coach.
Bayern Munich has also honored Beckenbauer by retiring his iconic number 5 jersey and planning a monument at their stadium.
