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

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.{{Cite web|url=http://www.stadia.gr/oaka/oaka-f.html|title=Athens Olympic Stadium "Spyros Louis" (OAKA)|website=stadia.gr}}
