1992–93 Greek Football Cup

The Greek Cup 1992–93 was the 51st edition of The Greek Football Cup, or Greek Cup for short.

Tournament details

Totally 72 teams participated, 18 from Alpha Ethniki, 18 from Beta, and 36 from Gamma. It was held in 6 rounds, included final.

Without particular surprises, minus the elimination of Aris in the First Round (phase of groups) by Ethnikos Piraeus and Paniliakos, teams of lower divisions, the three big teams of Attica qualified easily or with difficulty to semi-finals. In that round, Olympiacos eliminated AEK Athens, the season's champions, after two very interesting matches, with qualification to be judged in extra time. Panathinaikos had easier work against Apollon Athens.

In the Final, that was held in Athens Olympic Stadium, Panathinaikos home, the "greens" achieved to win their eternal opponent 1–0, opening the street for a line of three possessed wins of the Cup. Vasilis Dimitriadis was elected as first scorer, scoring 10 goals.

First round

The phase was played in a single round-robin format. Each win would gain 2 points, each draw 1 and each loss would not gain any point.
