During the postgame press conference, the manager of Aris, Georgios Firos 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. On 6 September 2002, the HFF Board decided that should the final be held in Thessaloniki—mandated if a local club qualified—Toumba Stadium would serve as the venue, being the second largest in the city. Nine days prior to the match, Aris submitted a request to the Federation demanding that the final be held at either the Kalamaria or Makedonikos stadium—both neutral venues with significantly lower capacities—or that a draw be held between Toumba Stadium and Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium.http://www.in.gr/2003/05/08/sports/allagi-edras-zitise-o-aris-ston-teliko-toy-kypelloy/ Αλλαγή έδρας ζήτησε ο Άρης Aris requested a change of venue el 8 May 2003 in.gr Both proposals were rejected, as the HFF Board unanimously reaffirmed its September decision on the matter.Οριστικά στην Τούμπα ο τελικός The final will be held at Toumba https://www.epo.gr/en/node/28463 el HFF 9 May 2003 19 January 2026 The manager of PAOK, Angelos Anastasiadis, became the first in the club's history to win the Cup both as a player (in 1974) and manager.
