The final was originally scheduled to take place at the Pampeloponnisiako Stadium in Patras, but at the last minute the approval for its performance was not given after the refusal of the Achaia Police Department, for fear of provoking incidents by the fans of both teams and even a few months before the Olympic Games, and Patras was among the Olympic cities. Finally, following recommendations from the Minister of Public Order, Giorgos Voulgarakis, that the final should be held within the Attica Basin for the best possible policing, it was decided to take place at the Nea Smyrni Stadium, as the Olympic Stadium, due to upcoming games, was in the final phase of its reconstruction. Initially, the mayor of Nea Smyrni and president of the amateur Panionios, George Koutelakis, expressed his opposition and refusal to concede the stadium and for security reasons the number of tickets available for sale was limited.https://www.in.gr/2004/04/29/sports/sti-nea-smyrni-o-telikos-toy-kypelloy-elladas/ Στη Νέα Σμύρνη ο τελικός του Κυπέλλου Ελλάδας 29 April 2004 in.gr el 19 April 2021 https://web.archive.org/web/20210419182755/https://www.in.gr/2004/04/29/sports/sti-nea-smyrni-o-telikos-toy-kypelloy-elladas/ livehttps://www.tanea.gr/2004/04/30/sports/telikws-nea-smyrni/ Tελικώς...
