The match for the Russian Super Cup in football will take place in Nizhny Novgorod on July 18.

      The St. Petersburg "Zenit" and Moscow "Spartak" will play at the "Sovcombank Arena" in Nizhny Novgorod on July 18, the Russian Football Union reported. Rumors that Nizhny Novgorod would host the Super Cup appeared as early as the beginning of June. However, it was only officially announced now. Moreover, insiders said that other cities were considered for the important match. In particular, it could have taken place in the capital of Tatarstan. But the choice fell on the capital of the Volga region—allegedly due to convenient logistics. It was also reported that the defender of "Pary NN" will play for Panama at the 2026 World Cup.
