The Greek Football Cup is the cup competition for Greek club teams. It is organized annually by the Greek Football Association EPO and is currently called in Greek Κύπελλο Ελλάδας HOL ( Kipelo Elladas HOL ).

mode

The mode of competition has changed frequently in the past and at times differed significantly from that of most European football nations. The biggest difference was the group stage, which replaced the first play-off round. In contrast to the German cup competition , for example , in the current mode, the quarter-finals and semi-finals are played in home and return matches. Only the first rounds and the final are decided by a single encounter. If an encounter ends in a draw during the first round, there is no extra time, but a replay in which the visiting team of the first encounter enjoys home rights. If this game also ends in a draw, there is extra time and, depending on the course, a penalty shoot-out. The final was held on a rotation principle in different stadiums until 2008. The Athens Olympic Stadium has served as the venue since 2009 .
