Greece: Clubs Ranked - 1960/61 to 2023/24

A few clubs dominate football in Greece. The chart on the right shows that. The 'Gre' column is for domestic games and 'Tot' adds European glory. Four clubs are well represented and that's about it. 

Virtually all points are from the domestic competition with European success is rare. 

So how do the points work? In the Super League (Division 1) the top four are rewarded with 6, 3, 2 and 1. The Greek Cup 4 and 2 points for the finalists only. The League Cup was held once but still scored 3 and 1 for the finalists.

In Europe, the Champions League (European Cup) 8, 4 and two from the semi finals forward. The Europa League (UEFA Cup) got 6, 3 and 1. The new Conference League I added to the long defunct Cup Winner's Cup. They get 4 and 2 for the finalists. 

From 1997/98 to 2021/22, Olympiacos won the league 22 out of 26 times. Panathinaikos and PAOK have since won it once each in that order. AEK Athens last won in 2017/18. In the time covered here, only five clubs have won the league. The outlier was Alpha Ethniki-AEL in 1987/88.

The Cup is not well spread among clubs either. The four listed to the right dominate. Over the last 26 years, only the four listed have won it. Current holder Panathinaikos also won two years earlier with PAOK and AEK Athens being recent winners also. 

Europe is a tough ask but Olympiacos won the Conference League in 2024, the only title a Greek side has won over this period. Panathinaikos has had some Champions League success. 

All put together, the clubs are below. The grand total is shown for each club, divided into regions with a ranking number (Rk) which gives their place compared to all the other clubs. 

Athens with 78.9% of the success, Thessaloniki (17%) and the Rest (4.1%). It reflects the dominance of a few clubs. Feedback welcome.
