The 2008 FA Community Shield was a football match played on 10 August 2008 between 2007β08 Premier League champions Manchester United and 2007β08 FA Cup winners Portsmouth as the "curtain-raiser" to the 2008β09 English football season.[2] The match marked the 100th year since the first Charity Shield, also won by Manchester United after a replay in August 1908.
