history [edit ]

Origins [edit ]

between 1905 and 1912, a Panhellenic Championship was organised by the Hellenic Association of Amateur Athletics ( SEGAS ). This backing was actually a local anesthetic tournament among clubs from Athens and Piraeus. After the Balkan Wars and World War I, two football associations were formed, one organising a football league in Athens and Piraeus, and one doing the same in Thessaloniki. These were the Athens-Piraeus FCA ( EPSAP ) and the Macedonia FCA ( EPSM ). In 1923, a Panhellenic Champion was determined by a play-off game between the Athens-Piraeus and the Thessaloniki champions. Peiraikos Syndesmos won 3–1 against Aris. This panhellenic concluding was not repeated the comply year as the EPSAP was split into the Athens FCA ( EPSA ) and Piraeus FCA ( EPSP ) following a dispute .

Panhellenic championship [edit ]

On November 14, 1926, the Hellenic Football Federation is founded and organizes the first Panhellenic Championship in the period 1927-28, in which, however, Olympiacos, Panathinaikos and AEK Athens did not participate due to conflicts with the EPO. [ 4 ] The initial events were held with teams from Athens, Piraeus and Thessaloniki, excluding the provincial ones. previously, the local championships of the cities were held and in the final phase, sometimes only the first ones qualified, sometimes the beginning two or the first three teams. In the championship of 1938-39, which was held in two groups, teams outside Athens-Thessaloniki ( Doxa Drama, AEK Kavala and Filippi Kavala ) participated for the foremost time. The inaugural presence of peasant teams in a individual group of the Panhellenic Championship took put in 1953-54 with the engagement of Panachaiki from Southern Greece and Niki Volou from Central and Northern Greece .

Α΄ National class [edit ]

In 1959 the Alpha Ethniki – the harbinger of the current Super League – was set up as a national round-robin tournament. After respective months of talks, the 1959–60 championship was the inaugural countrywide league contest. It started on Sunday 25 October 1959 with the engagement of 16 teams. The creation of a championship in the form of a unmarried permanent wave national division rather than the way they have been held until then with the engagement of the teams selected by the local competitions was a prerequisite of both the State and UEFA. The first gear wished to establish a sterilize number of matches every Sunday in Greece to stimulate interest in PRO-PO while UEFA wished to nominate national champions with rigid criteria and through articulation events for all states. The Hellenic Football Federation ( HFF ) was obliged to proceed to the abolition of the competitions of the Football Clubs Associations ( EPS ) of Greece as qualifying stages for the panhellenic Championship. The first locate was taken by Alpha Ethniki, a single division with clubs from all over the greek territory and a stable participation, with the exception of those who would be relegated at the end of the season. The initial design provided for a number of teams well above the 10th of the 1958–59 panhellenic Championship and in particular 18 which, as the expanded division calendar would cover about all the available dates of the class, would no farseeing participate in its local competitions their EPSs. Those would be the modifier for the approaching national division and not the participation in the final round of the current championship, so their significance was significantly reduced. On Saturday, 10 October 1959 at the General Assembly of the HFF, i with the participation of all the members of the Association of Football Associations and in the presence of the General Secretariat of Sports ( GGA ) and representatives of the Karamanlis politics, became the beginning national division of Greek football. The 1st game was set for 15 days. According to the general Assembly of HFF on 29 August 1959, it was decided that the newly created Alpha Ethniki would consist of 18 teams, with their decision being made in accord with the positions in the local EPS competitions in the period 1958–59. The HFF, at its decisive General Assembly on Saturday, 10 October, decided to reduce the number of teams to 16 indeed that the racing course of study will not be extended in the summer. After the end of the first event in the summer of 1960, the teams did not increase despite HFF ‘s initial purpose, with the number 16 being considered the ideal for a championship in Greece and entirely 18 in 1967. The teams that participated in the foremost championship of the Alpha Ethniki were the following :
On 25 October 1959, the Alpha Ethniki was launched. Panathinaikos won the first Alpha Ethniki ‘s Championship, which became the champion of Greece for the fourthly time in his history. He scored at 79 points with AEK Athens and beat 2–1 in the barrage, a match where he needed only a link consequence in the neutral Karaiskakis Stadium. In such a case, after the half-hour extension, the competition announcement set the best goal deviation. Through barrage and with the same score was besides the third gear locate for the demotion, with the winner Panegialios to overtake Pankorinthiakos again in the event of a pull. The score system was 3p the win, 2p the absorb, 1p the defeat .

The future years [edit ]

Time has been relentless for some teams that have participated in the beginning league of the Alpha Ethniki. The historic Ethnikos Piraeus, cup winner of Greece in 1933, participates in the Gamma Ethniki, american samoa well as Proodeftiki while AE Nikaia participates in the local championship of Piraeus. Apollon Kalamaria, Doxa Drama and Iraklis are fighting in the Beta Ethniki, while Pankorinthiakos, a few years after joining Alpha Ethniki, merged with Aris Korinthos and created PAS Korinthos, which reached the Alpha Ethniki at the 1990s and is now participating in the Gamma Ethniki. Megas Alexandros Katerini is the ancestor of Pierikos. In 1961, they merged with Olympos Katerini and created Pierikos who plays in the Gamma Ethniki. On 19 January 1979 a bill was passed in the Hellenic Parliament under which football clubs became Football Incorporated Companies ( PAE or ΠΑΕ in Greek ). The Association of Football Incorporated Companies ( EPAE, ΕΠΑΕ in Greek ), under the supervision of the HFF, has since held the province to hold the backing, with Makis Ithakisios being elected its foremost president. Initially the shares were owned by the sports union to which the football club belonged. Yet soon after, big greek businessmen ( shipowners, oil magnates, bankers etc. ) began acquiring the newly formed PAEs by buying the majority of their shares, and then increasing their share capital, therefore turning greek football into a in full commercialised and highly profitable business for the decades to come. For a single race temper, 2000–01, the championship is renamed “ Upper Category ” .
