Source-derived summary

The Chinese FA Super Cup (Chinese: 中国足协超级杯; pinyin: Zhōngguó Zúxié Chāojíbēi), formerly named Chinese Football Super Cup (Chinese: 中国足球超霸杯; pinyin: Zhōngguó Zúqíu Chāobàbēi), is a Chinese football super cup competition that takes place every year before the start of the new season. It is contested between the champions of the previous Chinese Super League season and the holders of the Chinese FA Cup. If the Super League champions also won the FA Cup, then the league runners-up provide the opposition. Established in 1995, it was not held between 2004 and 2011.

The most successful club is Shanghai Shenhua with five titles.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Chinese FA Super Cup” as football tournament. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1995, 2004, 2011—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1995. The account is most persuasive where Chinese, Super and football can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as football tournament. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2616371. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1995, 2004 and 2011.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
