The Iranian Super Cup is an Iranian association football trophy awarded to the winner of a match between the Iranian Premier League's season champion and the winner of the Hazfi Cup. It is similar to numerous other Super Cup tournaments held in other countries.
The tournament is new in Iran, and only one edition of it has taken place so far. The current holders of the trophy are Saba Battery F.C., who defeated Foolad F.C. 4–0.
The next edition of the Iranian Super Cup was planned to be played on August 10, 2007 between the 2006–07 league champions Saipa F.C. and the Hazfi Cup winners Sepahan F.C. but this match was cancelled. The second edition was held in the Azadi Stadium between the 2007–08 league champions Persepolis F.C. and the 2008 Hazfi Cup winners Esteghlal F.C., which was cancelled again.

Famous quotes containing the word cup:
“I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
