This marked the first-ever Tel Aviv derby in the Toto Cup final. The match took place at Bloomfield Stadium, refereed by Shnir Levy.

Notable player movements included Omri Altman starting for Hapoel Tel Aviv after previously scoring against Maccabi in a cup final five years prior. Daniel Dapa was in the forward line for Hapoel due to the injury of Emmanuel Boateng, and Adrian Krive was available on the bench after a suspension. For Maccabi Tel Aviv, Elad Madmon was preferred over Aster Sukler in attack, and Shagiv Ezekiel played at left-back due to Noam Ben Harush's injury.
