The 1972 Greek Cup final was the 28th final of the Greek Cup. The match took place on 5 July 1972 at Karaiskakis Stadium. The contesting teams were PAOK and Panathinaikos. It was PAOK's sixth Greek Cup final and third consecutive in their 46 years of existence and Panathinaikos' eleventh Greek Cup final in their 64-year history.[1] PAOK won the first title in their history, at the same time deprived their opponent of the double.[2]

Venue

[edit]
Karaiskakis Stadium.

This was the seventh Greek Cup final held at Karaiskakis Stadium, after the 1957, 1958, 1960, 1965, 1969 and 1971 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 the fist leg of the Intercontinental Cup final in 1971.[3]

Background

[edit]

PAOK had reached the Greek Cup final five times. The last time that they played in a final was in 1971, where they had lost to Olympiacos by 3–1.

Panathinaikos had reached the Greek Cup final ten times, winning five of them. The last time that they had played in a final was in 1969, where they won Olympiacos on a toss of a coin after a 1–1 draw at the end of the extra time.[4]
