Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Sport announced Wednesday that NEOM has been named as the main partner of the Spanish Super Cup, while the Red Sea Development Company will be the main tournament sponsor.

The event will take place in Riyadh during the period between January 12 and 16.

The four teams competing in the event are Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao according to the golden square system.

The knockout matches will be held on Jan 12 and 13, and the final match will take place on Jan 16.

The Kingdom first hosted the event in Jeddah. Real Madrid won the first staging of the competition in January 2020, which ended with Los Blancos winning on penalties in the final against city rivals Atletico.

Riyadh’s hosting of the Spanish Super Cup comes as part of the initiative to establish and host international sporting events, which fall under the "Quality of Life" program of the Kingdom's Vision 2030.

Kate, Britain's Princess of Wales, visited a London hospital on Tuesday where she underwent cancer treatment last year to personally thank medics there for their care and support, her office said.

Kate, 43, underwent a course of preventative chemotherapy after major abdominal surgery a year ago revealed the presence of cancer.

For the treatment, which concluded in September, Kate attended the Royal Marsden Hospital in central London and on Tuesday she paid an official visit there to mark her becoming joint patron of its specialist cancer unit along with her husband Prince William, Reuters reported.

On her visit she met patients and staff and spoke of her own treatment. A royal source said Kate had wanted to show her gratitude to the hospital staff and highlight its work.

"We are incredibly fortunate to receive Royal Patronage – it is inspiring for staff and patients and enables us to shine a light on the outstanding work our staff deliver every day for patients and their families," said Cally Palmer, Chief Executive of The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust.

Kate's illness meant she was absent from royal duties for most of last year, although she gave a number of health updates in highly personal video messages.
