2012 Greek Football Cup final

The 2012 Greek Cup final was the 68th final of the Greek Cup. It took place on 28 April 2012 at the Olympic Stadium. The contesting teams were Atromitos and Olympiacos. It was the second consecutive Greek Cup final for Atromitos in their 89 years of existence and Olympiacos' thirty sixth Greek Cup final of their 87-year history.

Venue

This was the nineteenth Greek Cup final held at the Athens Olympic Stadium, after the 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2009, 2010 and 2011 finals.

The Athens Olympic Stadium was built in 1982 and renovated once in 2004. The stadium is used as a venue for AEK Athens and Panathinaikos and was used for Olympiacos and Greece in various occasions. Its current capacity is 69,618 and it hosted three European Cup/UEFA Champions League finals in 1983, 1994 and 2007, a UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final in 1987, the 1991 Mediterranean Games and the 2004 Summer Olympics.

Background

Atromitos had reached the Greek Cup final one time, in 2011, where they had lost to AEK Athens by 3–0.

Olympiacos had reached the Greek Cup final thirty five times, winning twenty four of them. The last time that had played in a final was in 2009, where they had won AEK Athens by 15–14 on a penalty shootout, which came after a 4–4 draw at the end of the extra time.

The two teams had never met each other in a Cup final.
