2012 Svenska Supercupen (Swedish Super Cup 2012) was the 6th edition Svenska Supercupen annual football match that Helsingborg (league and cup double-champions) successfully defended against league runners-up AIK. The match was staged on 24 March 2012 at Olympia, Helsingborg.[1] Svenska Supercupen is usually contested by the winners of the previous season's Allsvenskan and Svenska Cupen. However, Helsingborg won both titles in 2011, they faced the Allsvenskan runners-up AIK. This was the first match the two teams faced each other in Supercupen's existence: Helsingborgs third Supercupen appearance and AIKs second Supercupen appearance. This was the 2nd match involving a double champion team following a hiatus since 2010. Olympia hosted the final for the first time.
The match was broadcast live on TV4 Sport, of the TV4 Group. FIFA selected Markus Strömbergsson from Gävle as the match referee for the third consecutive game.[1] Helsingborg won the match 2–0 after two goals from Dutch midfielder Rachid Bouaouzan.
