The 1982 Greek Cup final was the 38th final of the Greek Cup. The match took place on 19 June 1982 at Nikos Goumas Stadium. The contesting teams were Panathinaikos and AEL. It was Panathinaikos' fourteenth Greek Cup final in their 74 years of existence and AEL's first ever Greek Cup final in their 18-year history. [1] Despite Panathinaikos winning the match, they were not awarded the Cup, but a commemorative trophy instead, since the objection of Olympiacos against them for the case of illegal Hellenisation of Juan Ramón Rocha was still pending. The normal ceremony took place 2 months later, while the case had been finalized. [2] [3]
This was the seventh Greek Cup final held at AEK Stadium, after the 1962, 1967, 1974, 1976, 1980 and 1981 finals.
AEK Stadium was built in 1930 and it has been renovated in 1979. The stadium is used as a venue for AEK Athens and was used for Greece in various occasions. Its current capacity is 35,000. [4]
Panathinaikos had reached the Greek Cup final thirteen times, winning six of them. The last time that they played in a final was in 1977, where they had won PAOK by 2–1.
AEL had never competed in a Cup final. [5]

The matches between the two teams are renowned for their strong on-pitch rivalry, they usually have high attendances, and most of them are very entertaining and very competitive with many goals scored by both sides.
The Double-headed eagles derby is a football derby between AEK Athens and PAOK. Both teams have the same roots, being refugees from Constantinople, after the Greco-Turkish War, the Asia Minor Catastrophe and the population exchange. Both teams use the same emblem, to reminisce the Byzantine Empire, but in different colors. The first match between the two teams took place in Leoforos Alexandras Stadium in Athens during the final phase of the 1930–31 Panhellenic Championship. The rivalry used to remain on-pitch for several years. However, since the 2017 Greek Cup final and the controversial league derby on 11 March 2018, there is an ongoing, intense and overall exaggeration of the rivalry.

A draw was preceded on 19 April to determine in which stadium/city the final would be hosted: Nikos Goumas Stadium in Athens or Kaftanzoglio Stadium in Thessaloniki. Several days before the game, Olympiacos president Sokratis Kokkalis made a memorable statement using a Greek expression that Olympiacos would lose the upcoming final only if "the devil broke his leg", meaning that it was almost impossible for his team to lose. However, PAOK won the match by 4–2 with an impressive performance and earned the trophy 27 years after their last success, in the same stadium against the same opponent. During the awarding ceremony, former goalkeeper and member of the coaching staff of PAOK, Mladen Furtula whispered to Kokkalis that the devil indeed broke his leg that day and the latter responded with a laugh.

The match was marked by riots between fans of both teams, one of the first expressions of hooliganism in Greece.

It was Olympiacos' twelfth Greek Cup final and eighth consecutive in their 37 years of existence and Panathinaikos' sixth Greek Cup final in their 54-year history. It was an eventful and a harsh match that was marked by three red cards in a first half, which in fact lasted 66 minutes, due to the continuous interruptions. The intermission lasted 30 minutes and spectators became suspicious that both teams had arranged for a draw in order to make more money from the replay match that would occur according to the regulation at the time. Thus the hurled objects on to the pitch. The second half went smoothly with the spectators persisting in booing the footballers of both teams. The score remained at 0–0 and the match went to extra time. However, with the 21 minutes of delays at the beginning of the match and since there were no floodlights in the stadium, darkness set in. As a result, the referee interrupted the match at the 97th minute. The HFF, fearful of reactions of the crowd, declined to arrange a replay match, so while there was a Cup final, there was no Cup winner and conclusively there was no runner-up. Nevertheless, Olympiacos qualified for the next season's European Cup Winners' Cup, since Panathinaikos emerged as the champions of that year.
