PSG, who are the holders after beating Tottenham 4-3 on penalties last year, will bid to become the fourth team to successfully retain the trophy. This is Aston Villa's second appearance in the Super Cup, previously beating Barcelona 3-1 on aggregate in 1983 (0-1 away, 3-0 home).
FSG originally made clear in 2022 that it would be open to new investment in Liverpool, either from minority shareholders or a potential full sale. "FSG has said before that under the right terms and conditions, we would consider new shareholders if it was in the best interests of Liverpool as a club." The full sale never materialised but the agreement with Dynasty in 2023 was valued at between £82m and £164m, and was hailed by FSG as helping offset bank debt accrued from infrastructure projects, including the redevelopments of the Main Stand, Anfield Road End and the club's Kirkby training ground.
