The 2013 Saudi Super Cup was the inaugural edition of the Saudi Super Cup, an annual Saudi football match played between the winners of the previous season's Saudi Pro League and the King Cup of Champions.

The match was contested by Al-Fateh, winners of the 2012–13 Saudi Pro League, and Al-Ittihad, winners of the 2013 King Cup of Champions. It was held on 17 August 2013 at the King Abdulaziz Stadium in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.^[3]

Al-Fateh won the match 3–2 after extra time, becoming the inaugural champions of the Saudi Super Cup.^[4]

Venue

The King Abdulaziz Stadium was announced as the host of the final venue on 12 July 2013.^[5] This was the second domestic final to be held in the stadium.

The King Abdulaziz Stadium was opened in 1986.^[6] The stadium was used as a venue for the 2005 Islamic Solidarity Games and hosted the final.^[7] It also hosted the 2011 Saudi Crown Prince Cup final.^[8] Its current capacity is 33,000^[9] and it is used by Al-Wehda as a home stadium.

Background

In 2012, the Saudi Arabian Football Federation officially decided to launch the Saudi Super Cup following the conclusion of the 2011–12 season. The planned inaugural match was scheduled to be held between the 2011–12 Saudi Pro League champions, Al-Shabab, and the 2012 King Cup of Champions winners, Al-Ahli.^[10] However, the 2012 Super Cup was canceled due to scheduling issues, as no appropriate date for the match could be found.^[11] As a result, the Saudi Arabian Football Federation postponed the tournament to 2013.

Al-Fateh qualified for the 2013 Saudi Super Cup by winning the 2012–13 Saudi Pro League, securing the title with two matches to spare after a 1–0 home win against Al-Ahli.^[12] Al-Ittihad qualified by winning their eighth King Cup title, defeating Al-Shabab 4–2 in the final.^[13]

This match marked the 11th meeting between Al-Fateh and Al-Ittihad in all competitions. Prior to this game, both teams had won four matches each, with two encounters ending in draws.^[14]
