Barcelona were defending champions[1] and won their fifth (fourth consecutive) Supercopa title after defeating Real Madrid 5–0 in the final.
[5] On 20 December, it was reported that the tournament would be hosted in Leganés as it had been in the previous season, with all matches taking place at the same stadium, the Estadio Municipal de Butarque.
[6] The competition featured both finalists of the 2023–24 Copa de la Reina, as well as the next two highest-ranked clubs in the 2023–24 Liga F that had not already qualified through the cup final.
Players and fans were immediately and strongly critical of this, with protests based in both economic and cultural arguments: criticisms referred to the still-growing women's football audience within Spain, the fact Barcelona Femení attract larger crowds than any other team when properly promoted, and Saudi Arabia's poor track record of women's and LGBTQ+ rights.
[13][14][15] Alexia Putellas and Aitana Bonmatí, Barcelona players and multiple Ballon d'Or winners, both vehemently rejected the prospect of playing the Supercopa in Saudi Arabia.
