The 1980 Greek Cup final was the 36th final of the Greek Cup. The match took place on 25 May 1980 at Nikos Goumas Stadium. The contesting teams were Iraklis and Kastoria. It was Iraklis' fourth Greek Cup final in their 72 years of existence and Kastoria's first ever Greek Cup final in their 17-year history. [1] Iraklis on their way to the final, faced their local rivals PAOK on the semi-finals. Before the second leg, there was an alleged bribe attempt by Iraklis on the footballer of PAOK, Filotas Pellios. Due to those charges, Iraklis were eventually relegated to the second division, despite the prescribed penalty being the exclusion from next year's Cup. The allegations were later proven false, but the relegation decision was not overturned. [2] With their conquest of the Cup, Kastoria became the first club that was not based in neither Attica or Thessaloniki to win the trophy, while at the same time ensured their only participation in the next season's Cup Winners' Cup.
