Venue
[edit]
This was the seventh Greek Cup final held at Karaiskakis Stadium, after the 1957, 1958, 1960, 1965 and 1969 finals. (Karaiskakis also hosted the replay match of the 1960 final between Panathinaikos and Olympiacos).
Karaiskakis Stadium was built in 1895 and renovated once in 1964. The stadium is used as a venue for Olympiacos and Ethnikos Piraeus and was used for Greece in various occasions. Its current capacity is 42,000 and hosted a European Cup Winners' Cup final in 1971 and will host the fist leg of the 1971 Intercontinental Cup final.[3]
