Ukrainian Security Ensured Safety at UEFA Super Cup
The most responsible and critical areas are entrusted to an international team of professionals, including zones for hosting state officials, VIP sectors, hospitality areas, and corporate zones of international sponsors.
In addition, TopGuard personnel ensured overall security in close cooperation with the law enforcement agencies of the host country.
Given the level of the event and the large presence of officials from different countries, enhanced security measures were implemented in the Georgian capital.
Authorities deployed police forces to maintain order on city streets and closed off several roads.
As a reminder, the UEFA Super Cup was established in 1972.
The competition brings together the winners of the two most prestigious European football tournaments — the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League of the previous season.
This year’s UEFA Super Cup, contested by two Spanish teams, Barcelona and Sevilla, became one of the most spectacular matches in football history and set several historical records.
For example, it became the highest-scoring match in the history of the UEFA Super Cup.
The tournament winner, Barcelona, participated in the Super Cup for the ninth time and won it for the fifth time, equaling the record of Italy’s AC Milan.
The match also featured a highlight by our compatriot Yevhen Konoplyanka, who scored a spectacular goal against Barcelona, sending the game into extra time.
Providing security for mass events of this scale is valuable experience for our professionals, as well as an opportunity to witness such a historic event firsthand.
