AC Milan.

With the Bianconeri winning both Serie A and the Coppa Italia last season, the runners-up in the latter competition earn a place in the Supercoppa Italiana, making the Rossoneri this year’s opponents.

Both Lega Serie A and the Qatar Football Association have announced the fixture will be played abroad for the ninth time on December 23, and will return to Doha after the success seen in 2014.

It will be the fifth-straight Supercoppa for Juventus, who have lost just once since in the annual fixture since 2011, which is the last time Milan took part.

It has previously been hosted in Washington, Tripoli, New York, Beijing and, most recently, Shanghai.

Last year’s edition saw Juventus beat Lazio 2-0.
