Governing body UEFA noted the attendance level "may be adjusted according to the latest decisions from the local authorities".
The Irish FA added the number of spectators allowed in to watch the match was determined following talks between UEFA, the Northern Ireland Executive and the association.
On the announcement, Irish FA chief executive Patrick Nelson added: "We are delighted to announce the UEFA Super Cup Final will be played on 11 August, at the National Football Stadium at Windsor Park, with a voluntarily reduced capacity crowd of 13,000.
"This represents a 30 per cent reduction in the overall stadium capacity and recognises the need to remain cautious given the ongoing health situation in Northern Ireland.
"We have also secured a resolution which allows travelling Villarreal fans to attend the game."
