Mesterfinalen ("The Champions Final"), also known as UNICEF Mesterfinalen due to its cooperation with UNICEF, is a Norwegian association football competition contested between the previous season's champions of the Norwegian Premier League and the Norwegian Football Cup, or if the same team is reigning League and Cup champions, a game between the reigning champions and the silver medalist from the League.
There have previously been attempts at a Supercup and before that pre-season friendlies between the reigning league and cup champions. For instance, the 2002 pre-season match between Rosenborg and Viking was played between the reigning league and cup champions, although it had no official status. Later the Superfinalen was introduced in 2009 as the first attempt to make an official tournament, but the tournament folded in 2010 after two finals. In 2016, after Discovery Communications and TVNorge acquired the rights for the Eliteserien a new attempt will be made to arrange a Supercup starting in 2017 under the name UNICEF Mesterfinalen. The first final will be played between reigning League and Cup champions Rosenborg and the silver medalist from the League Brann at Brann Stadion.
