Community Shield

The Football Association Community Shield is an annual English football match contested between the Premier League champions and the FA Cup winners. If the Premier League champions also won the FA Cup, the league runners-up provide the opposition. The fixture was first played in 1908, and it has undergone several format changes over the years, with the current format featuring the Premier League champions and FA Cup winners competing for the title. The competition was previously known as the Charity Shield, and it evolved from the Sheriff of London Charity Shield, which was introduced in 1898. The Community Shield is recognized as a competitive super cup by the Football Association and UEFA, and proceeds from the game are distributed to community initiatives and charities around the country.learn more on wikipedia
