2011 DFL-Supercup

The DFL-Supercup is a match between the winner of the Bundesliga championship and the DFB-Pokal. In 1997, this was superseded by a league cup called DFB-Ligapokal. In 2008, although not officially sanctioned by the DFB, the match returned as the T-Home Supercup featuring Bundesliga champions FC Bayern Munich and fellow German Cup finalists Borussia Dortmund. The match was a one year replacement for the DFB-Ligapokal, which was cancelled for one season due to schedule crowding caused by the UEFA Euro 2008.

It has been decided that DFB-Supercup will be reinstated from the 2010–11 season at the annual general meeting of the German Football League on 10 November 2009.^[1] It featured league and cup winners FC Bayern Munich versus league runners-up FC Schalke 04.
