The 2017 Hazfi Cup Final was the 30th final of the Hazfi Cup since its inauguration in 1975. It was contested by Tractor S.C. and Naft Tehran F.C. Both teams were in poor form in their domestic league, and the Cup Final offered the teams an opportunity to play in the AFC Champions League; the winner would proceed to the AFC Champions League group stage, and the runner-up would move into the play-offs.

Format

The tie was contested over one leg, like the previous edition. If the teams could not be separated, then extra time would have followed, with a penalty shootout if the teams were still level after extra time.[ citation needed]
