2016 Greek Football Cup final

The 2016 Greek Cup final was the 72nd final of the Greek Cup. It took place on 17 May 2016 at Olympic Stadium, between Olympiacos and AEK Athens.[1] It was Olympiacos' thirty ninth Greek Cup final and second consecutive, in their 91 years of existence and AEK Athens' twenty first Greek Cup final of their 92-year history. On 5 April 2016, FIFA Emergency Committee decided to provide the Greek authorities with a deadline to have the cancellation of the competition reversed before 15 April 2016 or the HFF would face an automatic suspension.[2] The Greek authorities announced on deadline day that the Greek Football Cup will be resumed after an agreement reached with FIFA, UEFA and HFF.[3] A new schedule with the remaining match was announced with the final being played on 7 May 2016,[4] but the final was later postponed to 15 May 2016.[5][6] It was again postponed to 17 May 2016.[7]
