1955–56 Panhellenic Championship


The 1955–56 Panhellenic Championship was the 20th season of the highest football league of Greece and an exceptionally interesting championship, since 5 out of the 6 teams were challenging for the title until the final fixture, while Aris was left behind from the beginning. In the end Olympiacos won their 12th championship although he started with 4 consecutive draws.
Before the final stage, in that year, they were two qualification stages. Initially from the groups of the "founding" associations the results were as follows:
  • Athenian Championship: The first 3 teams of the ranking.
  • Piraeus' Championship: The first 2 teams of the ranking.
  • Macedonian Championship: The first 2 teams of the ranking.
Subsequently, 3 new groups were created with geographical criteria where a total of 14 teams participated. The 7 came from the 3 founding associations and the other 7 came from the winners of the regional championships of the same number. Finally, the teams that participated in the final phase of the championship resulted as follows:
  • North Group: The first 2 teams of the ranking.
  • Central Group: The first 2 teams of the ranking.
  • South Group: The first 2 teams of the ranking.
The point system was: Win: 3 points - Draw: 2 points - Loss: 1 point.
