UEFA have confirmed the 2014 UEFA Super Cup will take place in Cardiff.

The annual match between the winners of the previous season's UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League is moving from its traditional home in Monaco next year.

And Cardiff City's plush new stadium will host the match in two years' time, when it is expected to have been moved to mid-August.

First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones, said: "This is fantastic news and confirms once again how our capital city is in the 'champions league' itself when it comes to hosting world class sporting events.

"The European Super Cup will be a major boost not only to the city, but also for the global profile of Wales."
