Nizhny Novgorod may host the Russian Super Cup in football.

      Nizhny Novgorod is being considered as one of the possible cities to host the match for the Russian Super Cup in football for the 2026/2027 season. This is reported by Legalbet. According to the source, the "Sovcombank Arena" is being considered as a potential venue. The city is among the options in case the reigning champion "Zenit" faces off against Moscow's "Spartak" for the trophy. The last time the Super Cup match was held in Nizhny Novgorod was in 2018. Back then, two capital teams - "Lokomotiv" and CSKA - met in the final. The match ended with a victory for the army team. The match is scheduled for July 18. Traditionally, it will kick off the new football season and will take place a week before the start of the RPL championship, which is set for July 26. It was previously reported that the bookmaker denied rumors about a name change for FC "Pari NN" after their relegation from the RPL. NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has channels on Telegram and MAX.
