The FA Community Shield relocates to Cardiff's Principality Stadium this August after Wembley was booked for The Weeknd concerts. Scheduled for August 16, the match precedes the Premier League season opener.
This marks the fixture's first appearance in Wales since 2006. While Welsh Rugby Union officials celebrate the return, the move reduces capacity from 90,000 to 74,000 seats.
Revenue impact remains under review. Supporter groups are divided, citing venue quality against increased travel costs for fans.
