Copa Eva Duarte

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Copa Eva Duarte was a Spanish football tournament organized by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) and contested by the winners of La Liga and the Copa del Rey. In 1940, it had the name of Copa de Campeones, and was not played again until 1945, when the ambassador of Argentina, due to the good relations with the military government, offered a trophy called "Copa de Oro Argentina".[1] Both these tournaments were unofficial.

In 1947 the "Copa Eva Duarte de Perón" was established as an annual and official tournament founded and organized by the RFEF, as a tribute to Argentine president Juan Perón and his wife, the popular Eva Perón. It was played between September and December, usually as one-match finals. The trophy was the predecessor of the current Supercopa de España.
