2020–21 Greek Football Cup


2020–21 Greek Football Cup


The 2020–21 Greek Football Cup was the 79th edition of the Greek Football Cup. It took place with the participation of the 14 clubs from the Super League 1, as there was no competitive action in the lower divisions (Super League 2, Football League and Gamma Ethniki) until early January due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Hellenic Football Federation decided that the Cup would be held with the participation of teams only from the Super League, which was running normally. The winner of the Cup qualified for the next season's Europa Conference League third qualifying round.

Quarter-finals

The draw for this round took place on 5 February 2021. Shortly afterwards, Olympiacos vice-president Kostas Karapapas and Aris president Theodoros Karypidis both implied that the draw was fixed and claimed that some of the balls used during the procedure by the HFF representative and chairman of the Greek Cup Committee Manos Gavrielidis were previously heated. Gavrielidis stated that there was a livestream of the draw and everything was performed according to the restrictions concerning the COVID-19 pandemic which forbade the presence of club representatives, a rule that was also applied in the previous round's draw. The HFF issued a statement later that day denouncing the accusation as ridiculous and absurd. Olympiacos issued a statement in response, insisting that the draw was fixed by the Federation and accusing the HFF representatives of being corrupt and responsible for the total degradation of the competition and of Greek football in general.
