Background

The final was played between the two Styrian teams, Maribor and Celje, both competing in the Slovenian PrvaLiga. This was the second time Maribor and Celje met in the cup final, having faced each other in the final during the 2011–12 cup edition, where Maribor won their seventh cup title after a penalty shootout.[3] Celje previously competed in six finals, but managed to win only once, when they defeated Gorica in the 2004–05 edition.
