Description:

Greek football is completely dominated by the Big Three - Panathinaikos and AEK from Athens and Olympiakos from the nearby suburb of Piraeus. The title has only rarely headed outside these three clubs, and only once (to Larisa in 1988) outside Greece's two largest cities of Athens and Thessaloniki. The Greek national team had a spotty record until their shock victory in the 2004 European Championship.
