This was the nineteenth Greek Cup final held at the Athens Olympic Stadium.

The Athens Olympic Stadium was built in 1982 and renovated once in 2004. The stadium is used as a venue for AEK Athens and Panathinaikos and was used for Olympiacos and Greece on various occasions. Its current capacity is 69,618 and it hosted three European Cup/UEFA Champions League finals in 1983, 1994 and 2007, a UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final in 1987, the 1991 Mediterranean Games and the 2004 Summer Olympics. [3]

Background

Atromitos had reached the Greek Cup final once previously, in 2011, where they had lost to AEK Athens by 3–0.

Olympiacos had reached the Greek Cup final thirty-five times, winning twenty-four of them. The last time that they had played in a final was in 2009, where they had won against AEK Athens by 15–14 in a penalty shootout, which came after a 4–4 draw at the end of the extra time.

The two teams had never before met each other in a Cup final. [4]
