The 2015 Oman Super Cup was the 13th edition of the Oman Super Cup, an annual football match between Al-Oruba SC, the champions of the 2014-15 Oman Professional League and the 2014-15 Sultan Qaboos Cup and Fanja SC, the runners-up of the 2014-15 Oman Professional League. The match was played at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex in Muscat, Oman.
On 19 August 2015, the defending Oman Professional League and Sultan Qaboos Cup champions, Al-Oruba SC decided to pull out of the 2015 Oman Super Cup citing non-payment of dues by the Oman Football Association and a late release of its players from national and army team camps as the main reasons behind the club's decision to pull out.[1][2][3] On 21 August 2015, Fanja was declared the winner of the Super Cup after its opponent, Al-Oruba, as expected failed to turn up for the match.[4][5][6]
