The 1969 Greek Cup final was the 25th final of the Greek Cup. The match took place on 9 July 1969 at Karaiskakis Stadium. The contesting teams were Panathinaikos and Olympiacos for a second time in a row. It was Panathinaikos' tenth Greek Cup final and third consecutive in their 61 years of existence and Olympiacos' sixteenth Greek Cup final and second consecutive in their 44-year history. [1] It was the only Cup final to be judged on coin toss, as at the center of the pitch with the presence of the referees and the captains of both teams, Mimis Domazos, captain of Panathinaikos chose correctly and his team was awarded the trophy. By winning the Cup, Panathinaikos also achieved the first domestic double in their history. It was the last time a coin toss was used to determine the winner, as from the following year the procedure of penalties was established. [2]
