The **2013 AFC Cup final** was the final of the [2013 AFC Cup](/source/2013_AFC_Cup), the 10th edition of the [AFC Cup](/source/AFC_Cup), a [football](/source/Association_football) competition organized by the [Asian Football Confederation](/source/Asian_Football_Confederation) (AFC) for clubs from "developing countries" in [Asia](/source/Asia).[1]

The final was contested as a single match between two Kuwaiti teams, [Al-Qadsia](/source/Qadsia_SC) and [Al-Kuwait](/source/Kuwait_SC). The match was hosted by Al-Qadsia at the [Al-Sadaqua Walsalam Stadium](/source/Al-Sadaqua_Walsalam_Stadium) in [Kuwait City](/source/Kuwait_City) on 2 November 2013.

Defending champions Al-Kuwait defeated Al-Qadsia 2–0 to claim their third AFC Cup title in five years, and became the first team to win the AFC Cup three times.[2] Both finalists also qualified for the [2014 AFC Champions League](/source/2014_AFC_Champions_League).

## Venue

The [Al-Sadaqua Walsalam Stadium](/source/Al-Sadaqua_Walsalam_Stadium), also known as the Peace and Friendship Stadium, is located at [Kuwait City](/source/Kuwait_City) and holds 21,500 people.

This was the third AFC Cup final held in Kuwait. The [2009 AFC Cup Final](/source/2009_AFC_Cup_Final) was hosted by [Al-Kuwait](/source/Kuwait_SC) at the [Al Kuwait Sports Club Stadium](/source/Al_Kuwait_Sports_Club_Stadium), while the [2010 AFC Cup Final](/source/2010_AFC_Cup_Final) was hosted by [Al-Qadsia](/source/Qadsia_SC) at the [Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium](/source/Jaber_Al-Ahmad_International_Stadium).

## Background

Al-Kuwait were the defending champions, and had played in three previous finals, winning twice in [2009](/source/2009_AFC_Cup_Final) and [2012](/source/2012_AFC_Cup_Final) and losing in [2011](/source/2011_AFC_Cup_Final), while Al-Qadsia had lost their only previous final in [2010](/source/2010_AFC_Cup_Final). In fact, since 2009 when Kuwaiti clubs first entered the AFC Cup, this was the fifth straight single-match finals that featured either Al-Kuwait or Al-Qadsia.

The two teams also met in the round of 16 of the [2011 AFC Cup](/source/2011_AFC_Cup) and [2012 AFC Cup](/source/2012_AFC_Cup), with Al-Kuwait eliminating Al-Qadsia both times on penalties.
