On March 26, Alexis Kougias, spokesman for the league, announced the resumption of matchday 27 (March 31 to April 1).

After a decision at the green table , AEK Athens had been the champion again since 1994 on matchday 28, also benefiting from point deductions for competitors PAOK and Olympiakos . The traditional club Panathinaikos escaped the sporting descent despite the deduction of eight points in a desolate season.
