## Format

The rules for the final was exactly the different as the one for the previous knockout rounds. The tie was contested over one legs. If the teams could still not be separated, then [extra time](/source/Extra_time) would have been played with a [penalty shootout](/source/Penalty_shootout_(association_football)) (taking place if the teams were still level after that). Both teams have agreed [Hafezieh Stadium](/source/Hafezieh_Stadium) in [Shiraz](/source/Shiraz) as the final venue but it was announced that because of Hafezieh's ground qualify in winter, the final match will be transferred to the newly established [Ghadir Stadium](/source/Ghadir_Stadium) in [Ahvaz](/source/Ahvaz).
