SuperCup Cândido de Oliveira
Encyclopedia : S : SU : SUP : SuperCup Cândido de Oliveira
The Portuguese SuperCup Cândido de Oliveira (Port. SuperTaça Cândido de Oliveira, pron. IPA: /'supɛɾ 'tasɐ 'kɐ̃ðiðu dɨ oli'vɐjɾɐ/) is a football trophy contested in an annual match between the champions of the SuperLiga and the winners of the Cup of Portugal. If a team wins The Double (both the SuperLiga and the Cup of Portugal), the Double winner plays the defeated team of the Cup. Traditionally the game is played on just before the start of the next regular domestic season. It is named after the Portuguese football enthusiast of the yearly days and coach of the national team Cândido de Oliveira.
History
The SuperCup started unofficially in 1978/79 with a local derby between Boavista (Cup holders) and FC Porto (Champions) that ended with a 2-1 victory for Boavista.
The next year (1979/80) another derby occurred between Benfica and Sporting Lisbon. This was the second unofficial SuperCup and the first played in two hands (home and away).
With the success of both unofficial editions of the cup the federation decided to uphold the competition on a yearly basis with two legs.
The first official edition happened in the next season (1980/81) already with the name SuperTaça Cândido de Oliveira.
The rules stated that two games were played and the result on aggregate would determine the winner. If a draw occurred then a replay of the match should be played in a neutral ground to find the winner. This happened 6 times (1983/84, 1990/91, 1992/93, 1993/94, 1994/95 and 1999/00) with the replay of the 1983/84 edition being replayed again with two legs (home and away).
Because interest in the SuperCup was waning and in order to reduce the games per year, in 2000/01 the Portuguese Football Federation decided to abolish the home and away basis and a game in a neutral ground (decided by the Federation) is now used.
