2025–26 Greek Cup

TheGreek Football Cup (Greek:Ελληνικό Κύπελλο Ποδοσφαίρου), officially known asBetsson Greek Cup (Greek:Κύπελλο Ελλάδας Betsson) for sponsorship reasons is aGreek association football competition, run by theHellenic Football Federation (EPO).^[1]^[2]

The Greek Cup is the second-most important domestic men's football event in Greece, after the championship ofSuper League. Since its inception in 1931 it has been held 83 times, with a cup winner being crowned on 82 occasions,^[3] the final in1962 being the only occasion when no champion was crowned.^[4]

Olympiacos is the most successful club, having reached the final 43 times and earning 29 trophies.^[5]

History

[edit]

AEK Athens' team which won the first Greek Cup in 1932.

The Greek Cup under EPO began in1931. In its early years, entry was optional. Teams were paired against each other by the football associations, without a draw taking place. Later on, for many years, a proper draw took place and also two-legged matches were added.^{[citation needed]}

The participation ofOlympiacos andPanathinaikos in the1962 final is counted for both as the presence of a finalist, since the match was stopped due to darkness in overtime (0-0). Due to the incidents between the players of the two teams, the incidents in the stands, the excessive delays and the suspicion that all this was intentional for the match to be repeated and for the teams to make bigger profits, the GGA council decided to punish the EPO with a reprimand and banned the replay of the match as a penalty for both teams^[6]^[7]^[3]

Until1964, if the final score was a draw (includingextra time), the two teams played a replay match, whilepenalties didn't exist. That year, in the semi-final^[8] betweenPanathinaikos andOlympiacos (1–1 at the time),fans of both teams stormed the pitch, damaged the football field and virtually stopped the game, believing that it was fixed to end in a draw, in order to be replayed for financial reasons. Both teams were ejected from the competition and therefore, in 1964AEK won the title but the final match was not held.AEK also won in similar fashion in1966 whenOlympiacos did not show up in the final.^[9]

In1965, a new rule was applied, to determine that, if the game was undecided even after extra time, the winner would be determined by the toss of a coin.Panathinaikos won this way in the1969 final againstOlympiacos^[10]. Afterwards thepenalty shootout was applied.Until1971, teams from all over the country, professional and amateur, had been taking part. Each team first played against clubs from its own association and the winners continued in a nationwide competition. Due to this, strong professional sides met amateur neighbourhood teams, sometimes beating them with high scores; a 23–0 win in anApollon Athens vs. PAO Neas Melandias match on 23 September 1959 remains a record win for the Greek Cup until today. Since 1971, only teams from professional divisions are allowed to participate, while amateur clubs take part in theAmateur Cup.

In1991 and1992 the finals were two-legged matches.^[11]

One important match in the history of the competition was the2009 final^[12] betweenOlympiacos andAEK (3–3 full time, 4–4 after extra time and 15–14 on penalties).

The Greek cup was completely reformed from the 2025-26 season onwards. The new form of the competition includes qualifying rounds, a league phase and single (nottwo-legged) quarterfinals.^[13]^[14] Teams that win the localFCA cups also no longer participate, with participation limited to teams fromSuper League 1 andSuper League 2.^[15]
