The 2013 Greek Cup final was the 69th final of the Greek Cup. It took place on 11 May 2013 at Olympic Stadium, between Olympiacos and Asteras Tripolis.[1] It was Asteras Tripolis' first ever Greek Cup final, in their 72 years of existence and Olympiacos' thirty seventh and second consecutive Greek Cup final of their 88-year history.

Venue

This was the twentieth Greek Cup final held at the Athens Olympic Stadium, after the 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 finals.

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 in various occasions. Its current capacity is 69,618 and hosted 3 UEFA European Cup/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.
