In a repeat of the2012 UEFA Champions League Final, the match featuredBayern Munich, the winners of the2012–13 UEFA Champions League, andChelsea, the winners of the2012–13 UEFA Europa League. Having beaten Bayern in the 2012 Champions League Final, it was Chelsea's second consecutive appearance in the Super Cup.[5] It was played at theFortuna Arena inPrague, Czech Republic, on 30 August 2013, and was the first to be held away from theStade Louis II in Monaco since it became a one-legged match in1998.[6][7]

The match marked the first ever UEFA Super Cup between a pair of consecutive UEFA Champions League winners (Chelsea won the2011–12 UEFA Champions League, coincidentally defeating Bayern Munich in thefinal).[13]
The match was the first time since2004 that both finalists competed without the managers who won their respective UEFA trophies in the previous season, as bothJupp Heynckes andRafael Benítez left the clubs after the conclusion of the previous season. The new managers,Pep Guardiola andJosé Mourinho, renewed a rivalry they shared in Spain as managers ofBarcelona andReal Madrid respectively.[14] Guardiola had twice won the trophy in his management career, with Barcelona in2009 and2011. Mourinho had competed for the trophy only once in2003 when hisPorto entered as UEFA Cup holders and were defeated byMilan. Since then Mourinho had twice won the Champions League but on each occasion left his club immediately afterwards and therefore did not lead them in to the Super Cup.[15]
The international ticket sales phase for the general public ran from 14 June to 5 July 2013. Tickets were available in three price categories: €130, €90, and €50.[16] UEFA also launched a charity ticket auction, with all proceeds going to the Centre for Access to Football in Europe.[17] The two clubs were allocated tickets where fans could apply.
