There is confusion about the title of the
Egyptian Super Cup, for example, in this
official logo it appears 2020-21 for the Super Cup match that was played on 28 October 2022, while the current title refers to
2021-22. The next cup will be held on 5 May 2023, and it will be between Zamalek, the league champion in the 2021-22 season, and the Egyptian Cup winner between Al-Ahly and Pyramids. Additional

– This is very a common issue that happens in many countries like Italy for example, but for Egypt it happens way too often that it probably reached a point where we should change the articles name. The
2018 Egyptian Super Cup for example (which was supposed to be played before the start of the
2018–19 Egyptian Premier League in July 2018) was postponed for more than 14 months and is now scheduled to be played in late September 2019. At this point, I believe that the name of all articles above should be changed but I'm not sure what name can we use exactly. The best solution that came to my head is to change the title from including years to including seasons; for example, the
2018 Egyptian Super Cup should be moved to
2018–19 Egyptian Super Cup so it'd mean that the match was played during that season and not the year included. I'm sure this is the best solution we have here (probably the only one) and won't cause any confusion to the visitors, but there will be one problem; moving the articles to the name I suggested will probably break
WP:CONSISTENCY since I'm pretty sure there's no articles that uses seasons instead of years in the title. Maybe there's other better suggestions but I don't think so.

I don't think that this has been done before here on Wikipedia so this is an unlikely solution.. We don't have a dab page called
2018–19 FA Community Shield for example because in England the match is always played before the start of the new season. So in my opinion, using seasons instead of years in the articles titles would be a decent move only if we move the articles themselves and not by making it a dab pages.

Yes but still, a dab page wouldn't make any difference really since the current title won't change; it would still make confusion in other ways. For example, Al Ahly coach
René Weiler, who won the most recent Egyptian Super Cup title played on 20 September 2019, joined the club in August 2019. In his honour section you would see that he won the 2018 Egyptian Super Cup despite actually joining the club in 2019. This will make the visitors feel confused, right? That's why I believe moving the current titles from years to season is the only decent move available for us.

I think you may have misread GiantSnowman's intention. I don't think they were suggesting the creation of a disambiguation page. They were suggesting using the year range of the season (e.g. 2016-17) in the title as the disambiguating text, i.e. the text that serves to distinguish between the articles on different Egyptian Super Cups. So ultimately I think they were agreeing with the scheme you mentioned in your nomination. (Unless I'm totally misunderstanding).

So you only oppose the way the application was put forward, and I have already made it clear to you as much as possible in the
WikiProject Football, but it did not attract, as usual, the required interest. I know it's a bit confusing but we have to follow the official bodies. The Rsssf source is perfectly reliable. How can the article be named 2021-22 and that edition have not been played yet? The
2021-22 Egypt Cup final has not been played yet, and the winner will face Zamalek, possibly in May 2023.

2001 Egyptian Super Cup, as the Egyptian Super Cup held in calendar year 2001 (specifically, on 14 September 2001)
I think the latter is the best solution, as it avoids the ambiguity as to whether the two-year season range means that this is the last match of the 2000–01 season or the first match of the 2001–02 season. Really, it's neither, as the date is after the end of the 2000–01 season and before the start of the 2001–02 season. The
Arabic version of the article appears to just use the single year 2001 in the title, not a two-year range. –

Support second option. In recent years (since 2017) to be exact, there were no pre-selected dates for the Egyptian Super Cup matches, and it was played during different phases of the season every year.
For example, the match played on
21 September 2021, between the 2019–20 Egyptian Premier League champions and Egypt Cup runners-up, was postponed multiple times until it eventually took place just before the start of the 2021–22 season, so if we named it 2020 Egyptian Super Cup, it would've definitely caused confusion, simply because the match did not take place in 2020. At the same time, if we named it 2021 Egyptian Super Cup, it would be wrong, because that title should be for the match consisting of the league and cup winners from the 2020–21 season.
Keeping all that in mind, I decided to put the season in which the match should take place in, instead of the year, because I thought that this was the only suitable solution for this case, and due to
WP:CONSISTENCY, I decided to do the same to all Egyptian Super Cup matches from previous seasons.

There was scheduling inconsistency for the competition match since 2017, and for all domestic competitions in Egypt actually since 2011 due to various reasons, but I don't think that the pandemic is one of those reasons.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what do you mean by "what logic?". That match was originally intended to be played in 2020, just ahead of the 2020–21 season, and by default it should be named 2020 Egyptian Super Cup, just like any other super cup tournament, while the match consisting of 2020–21 league and cup winners should be named 2021 Egyptian Super Cup. The first one was postponed and played in September 2021, and because of that, naming it 2021 Egyptian Super Cup would be wrong for these two reasons:
As mentioned before, that match was contested by the 2019–20 Egyptian Premier League champions, and 2019–20 Egypt Cup runners-up, and originally scheduled to be played in 2020 before the beginning of the 2020–21 season in Egyptian football.
The match was originally not intended to be played in 2021, and there was another Egyptian Super Cup match supposed to be played in 2021, but was postponed after the 2020–21 Egypt Cup was postponed due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, and the EFA decided to play the remained of matches in 2022 rather than cancelling the tournament. This is something I forgot to mention in my previous comment, as that match (later played in October 2022) was the only super cup fixture that was affected by the pandemic.
This has been happening in Egypt for almost 10 years, and this case is different from any other country, that's why I believe writing the season in which the game took place in (or ahead of) would be the best solution that can be applied to all editions of the tournament.

Should we call a Cup that happens in 2001, a "2000-01 cup" or "2001-02 cup"? Just call it "2001" and be done with it. The season it should follow or precede adds extra confusion and while that may change, the actual year it happens, is always certain. It is 1 match, 1 match per year. Seasons preciding and following are also irrelevant with the postponements coming to play. Then the options become 1)"season it should follow" 2)"season it should precede" 3)"season actually follows" 4)"season actually precedes" 5)"Option X when played in the middle of a season". And things to consider are that if the game is played closer to the ending of a season, or closer to the start of the season. It obviously makes thing way too complicated as the matches have been held in January, February, July, August, September, October.

Regardless of other wikis that are not reliable sources, we must follow sources from third parties. Sources like
RSSSF should be acceptable. In my opinion, naming the Super Cup that follows the league and the cup that season is the best proposal, because the dates of tournaments in Egypt are subject to delay, unlike many other countries.

Egypt Independent The cup played in October 2022 was the 2020–21 edition not 2021–22.

The pandemic was responsible for the postponement of the
2020 edition only, and not for the other two editions, as far as I can tell. Actually, the latest Supercoppa Italiana is referred to on the official Serie A website as EA Sports Supercup 2022/2023, and on the official Inter Milan website as 2022/23 Supercoppa Italiana, in both websites, they refer to the match with the season it's scheduled to be played in, rather than the year, whether it was 2022 or 2023. This is the same this I did to all Egyptian Super Cup articles here on Wikipedia a while ago.
For other quadrennial tournaments, such as the
2020 Summer Olympics as you mentioned, and the
UEFA Euro 2020 for example, they kept the year which was the tournament scheduled to be played in only due to marketing reasons, and this was announced by both tournaments' organizing parties. This is a different case, since these tournaments doesn't take place every year.

@
Kante4:You removed my message so I take here. You seem unlikely to respond either here. I saw that you voted in support and that is completely wrong. It seems that you are not a follower of Egyptian football, so how do you build this opinion? You should see this sources to make sure that the trophy belongs to the season that just ended. How can we explain to the reader which teams are playing if the cup is played long after the season ends. In Egypt, this is the norm.
Oppose. As I stated multiple times above, the case with the Egyptian Super Cup is unique, caused by many reasons, and the only suitable option that can be applied on all articles is to keep the titles in season format instead of including years; specifically adding the season in which the match should take place in.
Oh, and by the way, the next match (including 2021/22 winners) will take place in May 2023, and the second participating team was just confirmed less than 10 days ago, so I think it would be definitely weird to write 2022 in the title (since the match will take place in 2023), and also wouldn't be ideal to write 2023 (since in normal cases, that title should be for the 2022/23 winners, not 2021/22).

2022 Egyptian Super Cup took place on 28 October 2022, so the next one should be called
2023 Egyptian Super Cup. Your opinion seems to be very unique aswell, can't find a source that supports it. The fact that your opinion and Sakiv's opinion about which season to write are so different, is a perfect reason to choose the option inbetween - the year the match actually takes place.
Pelmeen10 (

21:33, 19 April 2023 (UTC)reply
I've provided reasons why I believe the option I'm proposing is the best for this case. And for the sources, it will make things slightly more confusing due to inconsistency:
For the latest match that took place in 2022, if you look at the second image
here, you will see that the tournament's official name for that edition is the 2021 SAIB Egyptian Super Cup. Here, they used the year in which the match was originally supposed to played in; they didn't name it 2022 super cup.
For the match that took place in 2020, if you look at the second image
here, you will see that the tournament's official name for that edition is the 2018–19 SAIB Egyptian Super Cup. Here, the season from which the two teams qualified for the match was used in the title; they didn't name it 2020 super cup.
After the match that took place in 2017, you will see in this
image taken while Zamalek players celebrate winning the cup, that the tournament's official name for that edition is the 2016–17 SAIB Egyptian Super Cup. Here, the season in which the match took place in was used in the title; they didn't name it 2017 super cup.
In only five years, three different formats were used. This just confirms the inconsistency in the naming convention for the competition by the EFA.

Same story, these were just some examples.
Here, you can see that the match, which was played in 2014, was officially known as the 2014–15 Pepsi Egyptian Super Cup; the season in which the match took place in. The match that took place in 2010 was also known as the 2010–11 Etisalat Egyptian Super Cup, which can be partially seen in
this image. For the other tournaments, I couldn't find a clear image showing their official names.

I think you may have misread GiantSnowman's intention. I don't think they were suggesting the creation of a disambiguation page. They were suggesting using the year range of the season (e.g. 2016-17) in the title as the disambiguating text, i.e. the text that serves to distinguish between the articles on different Egyptian Super Cups. So ultimately I think they were agreeing with the scheme you mentioned in your nomination. (Unless I'm totally misunderstanding).

So you only oppose the way the application was put forward, and I have already made it clear to you as much as possible in the
WikiProject Football, but it did not attract, as usual, the required interest. I know it's a bit confusing but we have to follow the official bodies. The Rsssf source is perfectly reliable. How can the article be named 2021-22 and that edition have not been played yet? The
2021-22 Egypt Cup final has not been played yet, and the winner will face Zamalek, possibly in May 2023.

Furthermore, these images clearly show that the first Super Cup held abroad in the UAE specifically was labelled as the 2014-15 edition not 2015-16.

We are discussing something completely different here. I find it difficult to understand how a huge encyclopedia like Wikipedia can publish incorrect information like this and the title is misleading to someone who is even less knowledgeable about football.

Move to the single match year as this is much easier to understand for most users, and is consistent with other sports where finals don't match the same year as the preceding tournaments.

2001 Egyptian Super Cup, as the Egyptian Super Cup held in calendar year 2001 (specifically, on 14 September 2001)
I think the latter is the best solution, as it avoids the ambiguity as to whether the two-year season range means that this is the last match of the 2000–01 season or the first match of the 2001–02 season. Really, it's neither, as the date is after the end of the 2000–01 season and before the start of the 2001–02 season. The
Arabic version of the article appears to just use the single year 2001 in the title, not a two-year range. –

Support second option. In recent years (since 2017) to be exact, there were no pre-selected dates for the Egyptian Super Cup matches, and it was played during different phases of the season every year.
For example, the match played on
21 September 2021, between the 2019–20 Egyptian Premier League champions and Egypt Cup runners-up, was postponed multiple times until it eventually took place just before the start of the 2021–22 season, so if we named it 2020 Egyptian Super Cup, it would've definitely caused confusion, simply because the match did not take place in 2020. At the same time, if we named it 2021 Egyptian Super Cup, it would be wrong, because that title should be for the match consisting of the league and cup winners from the 2020–21 season.
Keeping all that in mind, I decided to put the season in which the match should take place in, instead of the year, because I thought that this was the only suitable solution for this case, and due to
WP:CONSISTENCY, I decided to do the same to all Egyptian Super Cup matches from previous seasons.

I see, so apparently the
COVID-19 pandemic was responsible for delaying matches and disrupting our naming convention, or has there been scheduling inconsistency even before the pandemic started?

There was scheduling inconsistency for the competition match since 2017, and for all domestic competitions in Egypt actually since 2011 due to various reasons, but I don't think that the pandemic is one of those reasons.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what do you mean by "what logic?". That match was originally intended to be played in 2020, just ahead of the 2020–21 season, and by default it should be named 2020 Egyptian Super Cup, just like any other super cup tournament, while the match consisting of 2020–21 league and cup winners should be named 2021 Egyptian Super Cup. The first one was postponed and played in September 2021, and because of that, naming it 2021 Egyptian Super Cup would be wrong for these two reasons:
As mentioned before, that match was contested by the 2019–20 Egyptian Premier League champions, and 2019–20 Egypt Cup runners-up, and originally scheduled to be played in 2020 before the beginning of the 2020–21 season in Egyptian football.
The match was originally not intended to be played in 2021, and there was another Egyptian Super Cup match supposed to be played in 2021, but was postponed after the 2020–21 Egypt Cup was postponed due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, and the EFA decided to play the remained of matches in 2022 rather than cancelling the tournament. This is something I forgot to mention in my previous comment, as that match (later played in October 2022) was the only super cup fixture that was affected by the pandemic.
This has been happening in Egypt for almost 10 years, and this case is different from any other country, that's why I believe writing the season in which the game took place in (or ahead of) would be the best solution that can be applied to all editions of the tournament.

Should we call a Cup that happens in 2001, a "2000-01 cup" or "2001-02 cup"? Just call it "2001" and be done with it. The season it should follow or precede adds extra confusion and while that may change, the actual year it happens, is always certain. It is 1 match, 1 match per year. Seasons preciding and following are also irrelevant with the postponements coming to play. Then the options become 1)"season it should follow" 2)"season it should precede" 3)"season actually follows" 4)"season actually precedes" 5)"Option X when played in the middle of a season". And things to consider are that if the game is played closer to the ending of a season, or closer to the start of the season. It obviously makes thing way too complicated as the matches have been held in January, February, July, August, September, October.

Regardless of other wikis that are not reliable sources, we must follow sources from third parties. Sources like
RSSSF should be acceptable. In my opinion, naming the Super Cup that follows the league and the cup that season is the best proposal, because the dates of tournaments in Egypt are subject to delay, unlike many other countries.

Nothing require us to follow other super cups. In Egypt they have decided to follow this branding of their tournaments. Endorse xxxx-xxxx in title instead of single year which is a mess.

It's one match, and so should just contain the year that it was held. Implying that a single match was held over 2 years is wrong.

– Based on the previous discussions above, most popular opinion was to name the Super Cups by the years they took place. Other Egyptian Super Cup pages were already moved with the same rationale.

Support as per the discussion above, it seems like most people other than Sakiv support these one-match tournaments having the name of the year they were in. This is

Egypt Independent The cup played in October 2022 was the 2020–21 edition not 2021–22.
We should not follow what other countries name their tournaments, we are here talking about an Egyptian competition. It denotes that it belongs to the season that had just finished nothing else. This should not be a problem if it's a single match.--

The pandemic was responsible for the postponement of the
2020 edition only, and not for the other two editions, as far as I can tell. Actually, the latest Supercoppa Italiana is referred to on the official Serie A website as EA Sports Supercup 2022/2023, and on the official Inter Milan website as 2022/23 Supercoppa Italiana, in both websites, they refer to the match with the season it's scheduled to be played in, rather than the year, whether it was 2022 or 2023. This is the same this I did to all Egyptian Super Cup articles here on Wikipedia a while ago.
For other quadrennial tournaments, such as the
2020 Summer Olympics as you mentioned, and the
UEFA Euro 2020 for example, they kept the year which was the tournament scheduled to be played in only due to marketing reasons, and this was announced by both tournaments' organizing parties. This is a different case, since these tournaments doesn't take place every year.

@
Kante4:You removed my message so I take here. You seem unlikely to respond either here. I saw that you voted in support and that is completely wrong. It seems that you are not a follower of Egyptian football, so how do you build this opinion? You should see this sources to make sure that the trophy belongs to the season that just ended. How can we explain to the reader which teams are playing if the cup is played long after the season ends. In Egypt, this is the norm.
Oppose. As I stated multiple times above, the case with the Egyptian Super Cup is unique, caused by many reasons, and the only suitable option that can be applied on all articles is to keep the titles in season format instead of including years; specifically adding the season in which the match should take place in.
Oh, and by the way, the next match (including 2021/22 winners) will take place in May 2023, and the second participating team was just confirmed less than 10 days ago, so I think it would be definitely weird to write 2022 in the title (since the match will take place in 2023), and also wouldn't be ideal to write 2023 (since in normal cases, that title should be for the 2022/23 winners, not 2021/22).

2022 Egyptian Super Cup took place on 28 October 2022, so the next one should be called
2023 Egyptian Super Cup. Your opinion seems to be very unique aswell, can't find a source that supports it. The fact that your opinion and Sakiv's opinion about which season to write are so different, is a perfect reason to choose the option inbetween - the year the match actually takes place.

I've provided reasons why I believe the option I'm proposing is the best for this case. And for the sources, it will make things slightly more confusing due to inconsistency:
For the latest match that took place in 2022, if you look at the second image
here, you will see that the tournament's official name for that edition is the 2021 SAIB Egyptian Super Cup. Here, they used the year in which the match was originally supposed to played in; they didn't name it 2022 super cup.
For the match that took place in 2020, if you look at the second image
here, you will see that the tournament's official name for that edition is the 2018–19 SAIB Egyptian Super Cup. Here, the season from which the two teams qualified for the match was used in the title; they didn't name it 2020 super cup.
After the match that took place in 2017, you will see in this
image taken while Zamalek players celebrate winning the cup, that the tournament's official name for that edition is the 2016–17 SAIB Egyptian Super Cup. Here, the season in which the match took place in was used in the title; they didn't name it 2017 super cup.
In only five years, three different formats were used. This just confirms the inconsistency in the naming convention for the competition by the EFA.

Same story, these were just some examples.
Here, you can see that the match, which was played in 2014, was officially known as the 2014–15 Pepsi Egyptian Super Cup; the season in which the match took place in. The match that took place in 2010 was also known as the 2010–11 Etisalat Egyptian Super Cup, which can be partially seen in
this image. For the other tournaments, I couldn't find a clear image showing their official names.
