Stade 7 Novembre in Radès (StadiumVibe.com)

After weeks of speculation, the French Super Cup will be held in the city of Radés in Tunisia. The match is scheduled to be played on July 31st at the Stade 7 Novembre.

This move to Africa was announced by both the Ligue de Football Professionel(LPF) as well as the French Football Federation in an effort to make it logistically possible for players to travel less after the World Cup takes place in South Africa.

The 2009 edition of this event was the first one played on foreign soil as the French took their official season opener to Montreal, Canada. There Ligue 1 champ Bordeaux defeated Coupe de France winner Guingamp 2-0.
