Super Cup winners
[edit]The Romanian Football Super Cup (Romanian: Supercupa României) is the third trophy available to clubs in the Romanian football system. Introduced in 1994, the super cup is a single match contested by previous season's league and cup holders. The game is usually played at the beginning of the following football season, in July.
From 1994 to 2008 the Super Cup was played intermittently, only when the two major domestic competitions were won by different clubs, i.e. it was not played in the event of a Double. For this reason, the match did not take place in 1996, 1997, 2000, 2004, and 2008. From 2009 onward, the rules were changed so that in case of a Double the match is contested by previous season's Liga I champions vs. runners-up.
