The Super Match was an annual and bi-annual pre-season friendly football tournament.

The game is usually the last before the Premier League opening match and features a highly reputed UEFA club.

Manchester City played against UEFA Champions League sides Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund, Lazio, Milan, Olympiacos, Porto, VfB Stuttgart, and Valencia in previous editions of the competition.

Super Matches which did not involve Manchester City were known as SuperGames and were played in Gothenburg, Sweden.

In 2010, sponsorship of the competition moved to Ferrostaal, who had signed a representative deal with Manchester City.
