The 2024 Greek Cup final was the 80th final of the Greek Cup. It took place on 25 May 2024 at Panthessaliko Stadium. The contesting teams were Panathinaikos and Aris. [1] [2] [3] It was Panathinaikos' thirty first Greek Cup final in their 116 years of existence and Aris' tenth Greek Cup final of their 110-year history. After the end of the match having strong complaints from the refereeing, officials of Aris, alongside the president of the club Thodoros Karipidis, verbally attacked the referee, who went with a police escort to the locker room. Thus, as protest and in risk of punishment, they did not present to receive the medals of the runners-up. [4]
