The Greek Basketball Super Cup or Hellenic Basketball Super Cup (also stylized as Basket Super Cup), is the top-tier level professional basketball national super cup competition in Greece. The first edition of the tournament, was organized by the Hellenic Basketball Federation (E.O.K.), in 1986. It was contested by the Greek Basket League champions and the Greek Basketball Cup winners. However, the Greek Basketball Super Cup was revived in 2020, by the Hellenic Basketball Association (HEBA), under a final four tournament format. [1] [2] [3]
The Greek Basketball Super Cup was first held in 1986. It featured Aris, the champions of the Greek Basket League's 1985–86 season, and Panathinaikos, the winners of the 1985–86 Greek Basketball Cup. It was contested under a two-legged format, and the winner was decided by aggregate score. Aris won the first game at home, by a score of 117–85, and they also won the second game on the road, by a score of 104–88, and thus won the first Greek Super Cup, by an aggregate score of 221–173. [4] [5] Aris then went on to win both the Greek Basket League championship and the Greek Basketball Cup title, or the Greek domestic double, for the next four consecutive seasons (1986–87, 1987–88, 1988–89, 1989–90). As a result, the tournament was not held again during that time, since its format didn't allow it to be held after the same team won both titles in the same season. Eventually, the original organizers of the competition, the Hellenic Basketball Federation (E.O.K.), decided that the Greek Super Cup was no longer needed, and they canceled it.
In September 2020, the Hellenic Basketball Association (HEBA), decided to hold its own new version of the Greek Basketball Super Cup competition. Under the current competition format, the top two ranked teams from the previous Greek Basket League season, along with the two finalists of the previous Greek Cup tournament, compete against each other, in a final four, with single elimination games. If the same team or teams, finished in both the top two places of the previous season's Greek League and Greek Cup competitions, then the next highest-placed team or teams from the previous season's Greek League competition will take part in the Greek Super Cup.
Promitheas Patras won the 2020 Greek Super Cup, on September 24, 2020, in the Athens final four. [6] [7] Panathinaikos OPAP won the 2021 Greek Super Cup, on September 26, 2021, in the Patras final four. [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] Olympiacos won the 2022 Greek Super Cup, on October 2, 2022, in the Rhodes final four. [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] Olympiacos won the 2023 Greek Super Cup, on September 30, 2023, in the Rhodes final four. [20] [21]
Olympiacos won the 2024 Greek Super Cup, on September 29, 2023, in the Rhodes final four. [22]
