Traditionally, the game serves as a curtain-raiser to celebrate the new European club season.
It is usually takes place in August ahead of a September restart for clubs, but this year the final was postponed due to delays and complications surrounding the Covid-19 outbreak.
Dutch sports journalist Anton Witkamp came up with the concept in 1971 and it has gone through a number of changes since its inception.
Initially, the competition incorporated two matches - home and away legs - but it has been a single-game decider since 1998, with games taking place at neutral venues.
