The draw for this round took place on 5 February 2021.[3] Shortly afterwards,Olympiacos vice-president Kostas Karapapas andAris president Theodoros Karypidis both implied that the draw was fixed and claimed that some of the balls used during the procedure by theHFF representative and chairman of the Greek Cup Committee Manos Gavrielidis were previously heated.[4] Gavrielidis stated that there was a livestream of the draw and everything was performed according to the restrictions concerning theCOVID-19 pandemic which forbade the presence of club representatives, a rule that was also applied in the previous round's draw.[5] TheHFF issued a statement later that day denouncing the accusation as ridiculous and absurd.[6]Olympiacos issued a statement in response, insisting that the draw was fixed by the Federation and accusing theHFF representatives of being corrupt and responsible for the total degradation of the competition and of Greek football in general.[7]
