Founded in 2024 as a two-team competition, the current version has been contested since 2025 by four teams: the winners and runners-up of the Turkish Cup and Süper Lig.
[1] The rebranded TFF Süper Kupa is a curtain raiser for the upcoming footballing season, usually taking place in August.
In a bid to rebrand and revive the tournament as a super cup, an inaugural 2006 final took place in Germany, where a large population of Turkish immigrants reside.
After the 2006 rebranding, the cup continued to be contested in a neutral venue, which is picked annually by the Turkish Football Federation.
Thus, the Turkish Football Federation made another regulatory change, and awarded the second finalists spot to the Süper Lig runners-up, in case of a team achieving the double.
After the goal, Fenerbahçe President Ali Koç left the pitch and went to the dressing room in protest against the incidents in Süper Lig matches, the Turkish Football Federation and referee decisions.
