It was Aris' sixth Greek Cup final in their 89-year history and PAOK's sixteenth Greek Cup final in their 77 years of existence. During the postgame press conference, Aris manager Giorgos Foiros made a complaint that the final should have been a two-legged tie because PAOK had the advantage of playing on home ground. Kaftanzoglio Stadium, a neutral ground and Thessaloniki's largest stadium was under renovation for the 2004 Summer Olympic games. The HFF's regulation for that season's Cup stated that if the final was to be held at Thessaloniki, it would be hosted at the second largest stadium of the city which was Toumba. About a week before the game, Aris demanded from the federation either the final to be played at Kalamaria Stadium or Makedonikos Stadium which were both neutral grounds or to be held a draw between Toumba Stadium and Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium, but both requests were denied due to the tournament's regulation.

It was a stadium that until the completion of the semi-finals, did not actually exist on the table. The people of Thessaly Football Clubs Association quickly made the decision to submit a file after the qualification of PAOK to the final. In fact, within two hours, they tilted the plate in favor of conducting the game in their area, submitting a complete file.
