Union Saint-Gilloise will square off against Club Brugge in the Belgian Super Cup 2025 at the Stade Joseph Marien on Sunday. Notably, the two teams had met in the Super Cup last year, and Saint-Gilloise lifted the trophy in their maiden appearance after recording a 2-1 win.
Les Unionistes won the Belgian Pro League last season, their first triumph in the league after 90 years, to secure a place in the Super Cup for the second year in a row. They concluded their preseason with a 1-0 away win over Paris FC earlier this week.
Blauw-Zwart missed out on winning the league title by just three points, but booked a place in the Super Cup for a record 22nd time after winning the Belgium Cup last season.
