The Super League Greece (Greek: Σούπερ Λίγκα Ελλάδα) is the highest professional football league in Greece.

History

Super Leagues's precursors was Panhellenic Championship and First Division (Α΄ Εθνική). Panhellenic Championship, which had the form of cup, was carried out from 1906 to 1959, with the attendance only of the biggest football associations of Athens, Piraeus, Thessaloniki and Patras, while First Division from 1959 (therefore the championship became professional, until then was amateur) to 2006. First Division had bigger attendance, with associations from all Greece.

EPO organized the championship for first time in history in 1927. Until then, SEGAS (Contact of Greek Gymnastic and Athletic Associations) (1906-1913) and the precursor of EPO, EPSE (Union of Football Associations of Greece) (1922-23), had undertaken the conduct of championship. Nevertheless, the official counting of champions begins since 1928.

Structure

At present, sixteen clubs compete in the league, playing each other twice, once at home and once away. At the end of the season, the bottom three clubs are relegated to Second Division, the second-level league, to be replaced by the top three teams from that league.

For 2007-08 season, the league is entitled to two entrants in the UEFA Champions League. The champion enters the third qualifying round, a two-legged tie from which the winner qualifies to the group stage, while the runner-up enters the second qualifying round from which the winner qualifies for the third qualifying round. The winner of the Greek Cup automatically enters the UEFA Cup, as well as the team that finishes third in the Super League. If the cup winner is qualified for European competition by its league position, the losing cup finalist is granted a UEFA Cup berth. If both cup finalists are qualified for Europe by their league position, the fourth place team in the Super League is granted a UEFA Cup berth.
