The 1982 Greek Cup final was the 38th final of the Greek Cup. The match took place on 19 June 1982 at Nikos Goumas Stadium. The contesting teams were Panathinaikos and AEL. It was Panathinaikos' thirteenth Greek Cup final in their 74 years of existence and AEL's first ever Greek Cup final in their 18-year history.^[1] Despite Panathinaikos winning the match, they were not awarded the Cup, but a commemorative trophy instead, since the objection of Olympiacos against them for the case of illegal Hellenisation of Juan Ramón Rocha was still pending. The normal ceremony took place 2 months later, while the case had been finalized.^[2][3]

Venue

This was the seventh Greek Cup final held at Nikos Goumas Stadium, after the 1962, 1967, 1974, 1976, 1980 and 1981 finals.

The Nikos Goumas Stadium was built in 1930 and it has been renovated in 1979. The stadium is used as a venue for AEK Athens and was used for Greece in various occasions. Its current capacity is 35,000.

Background

Panathinaikos had reached the Greek Cup final twelve times, winning six of them. The last time that they played in a final was in 1977, where they had won PAOK by 2–1.

AEL had never competed in a Cup final.^[4]
