1963–64 Greek Football Cup

1

The 1963–64 Greek Football Cup was the 22nd edition of the Greek Football Cup. The final was scratched and AEK Athens were awarded the cup after Panathinaikos and Olympiacos were ejected from the competition following the abandonment of their semi-final in the 115th minute with the score 1–1 due to riots by supporters from both teams, who believed the match had been fixed to end in a draw in order to have a replay for financial reasons (this was the same reason that the final of 1961–62 was abandoned and the cup withheld).
