 2016 Turkish Super Cup

The Turkish Super Cup (Turkish: TFF Süper Kupa), as it is currently known, is the annual super cup football match contested between the previous season's Süper Lig champions and the Turkish Cup winners in Turkey. It was originally known as the Cumhurbaşkanlığı Kupası (Presidential Cup) from 1966 to 1998. No competition was held between 1999 and 2005. The rebranded TFF Süper Kupa is a curtain raiser for the upcoming footballing season, usually taking place in August.
In case of a team achieving the double, the Turkish Cup runners-up become finalists. The 2016 Turkish Super Cup was the most recent match-up, taking place in this fashion. 2015–16 Turkish Cup winner Galatasaray played and won against the 2015–16 Süper Lig champions Beşiktaş JK.
Galatasaray is the most successful team of the competition with 15 trophies and 23 appearances.
Between 1966 and 1980 the cup was called Cumhurbaşkanlığı Kupası (Presidential Cup). Following 12 Eylül, it was renamed to Devlet Başkanlığı Kupası (Head of State Cup) for the 1981 and 1982 finals. After the resumption of democracy, the tournament was renamed back to Cumhurbaşkanlığı Kupası, taking place from 1983 to 1998. Between 1999 and 2005 no competition was held. In a bid to rebrand and revive the tournament as a super cup, an inaugural 2006 final took place in Germany, where a large population of Turkish immigrants reside. The success of the new format led to the continuation of TFF Süper Kupa as it is known and contested today.
