The Super Match was an annual and bi-annual pre-season friendly football tournament. The tournament was previously referred to as "Thomas Cook Trophy" until 2008, "Ferrostaal Cup" in 2010, "Winoly Cup" in 2012, and "Super Match by Carlsberg", due to sponsorship. Manchester City F.C. were the hosts of the competition. 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.

Sponsorship
[edit]The inaugural sponsor of the cup was travel agent Thomas Cook. In 2010, sponsorship of the competition moved to Ferrostaal, who had signed a representative deal with Manchester City. In 2012, the tournament again changed sponsors, this time to sports company "Winoly". In 2013, it was announced that Winoly had moved its sponsorship to a rival competition. On 5 June 2013, Danish Alcoholic beverage company Carlsberg took over sponsorship of the event, then known as the Super Match by Carlsberg. In 2015, there was no title sponsor for the competition.
