The Football Association Community Shield(formerly the Charity Shield) is English football’s annual match contested between the champions of the previous Premier League season and the holders of the FA Cupat Wembley Stadium. If the Premier League champions also won the FA Cup then the league runners-up provide the opposition. The fixture is a recognised competitive footballsuper cup.
Did you read the other parts about how teams used to share it if it was a draw? Or how in 1971 after winning the double Arsenal weren’t in it at all because they had some other previously arranged pre season stuff?
