The 1989 Greek Cup final was the 45th final of the Greek Cup. The match took place on 11 May 1989 at the Olympic Stadium. The contesting teams were Panionios and Panathinaikos. 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 strike 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 on 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]

Background

Panionios had reached the Greek Cup final four times, winning one of them. The last time that they played in a final was in 1979, where they had won against AEK Athens by 3–1.

Panathinaikos had reached the Greek Cup final seventeen times, winning ten of them. The last time that they played in a final was in 1988, where they had won against Olympiacos by 4–3 on penalties, which came after a 2–2 draw at the end of the extra time.

The two teams had met each other in a Cup final one time in the 1967 final.[4]
