The 2005 Greek Cup final was the 61st final of the Greek Cup. The match took place on 21 May 2005 at Pampeloponnisiako Stadium. The contesting teams were Olympiacos and Aris. [1] It was Olympiacos' thirty- first Greek Cup final and second consecutive in their 80 years of existence and Aris' seventh Greek Cup final in their 91-year history. It was the first time that the match was held outside Athens or Thessaloniki Prefecture. It is characteristic that Aris had already been relegated to the second division during his presence in the final, with the result that the competitive and psychologically superior Olympiacos reached the conquest of the cup and consequently the double, while Dušan Bajević reached the 4th cup win as a coach. The following season, Aris, as a cup finalist played in the UEFA Cup thus becoming the first and only second division team in Greece that ever competed in any European competition.
