It was Panionios' fifth Greek Cup final in their 99 years of existence and Panathinaikos' eighteenth Greek Cup final and second consecutive in their 81-year history.[1] Only the last 30 minutes of the match were televised due to the sudden stike of the employees of ERT, which was interrupted at the request of the viewers.[2] Venue This was the seventh Greek Cup final held at the Athens Olympic Stadium, after the 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1988 finals. The Athens Olympic Stadium was built in 1982. The stadium is used as a venue for Panathinaikos, Olympiacos and Greece and was used for AEK Athens in various occasions. Its current capacity is 80,000 and hosted a European Cup final in 1983 and a European Cup Winners' Cup final in 1987.[3] BackgroundPanionios had reached the Greek Cup final four times, winning one of them.
