Tournament details
Totally 74 teams participated, each with their own favorite brand names, 18 from Alpha Ethniki, 40 from Beta, and 16 from Gamma. It was held in 7 rounds, included final. An Additional Round was held between First and Second, with 5 matches, in order that the teams would continue to be 32. For first time participated teams from Gamma Ethniki, while that year the particular division was established.
The Final was contested by AEK Athens and PAOK. The two teams not only met themselves for a fourth consecutive year in the competition (PAOK had qualified the three previous times), but also 5 years afterwards AEK's win in 1978 Final. In their advance to the Final, AEK eliminated Olympiacos with two wins in quarter-finals, and Iraklis, with difficulty, with the Away goals rule in semi-finals. On the other hand, PAOK eliminated only one Alpha Ethniki team, relegated that year Rodos, in semi-finals. Earlier, Olympiacos had eliminated Panathinaikos, with an impressive appearance at the extra time.
The Final was held in the packed Athens Olympic Stadium "Spyridon Louis". It was the first match between Greek clubs that was held in the new stadium, which had already hosted matches for European Cup and of Greece national team. AEK won 2–0.[1] They would wait for 13 years to win the title again. First scorer of the tournament was Mavros, who scored 12 goals.
