Greek FCA Winners' Championship


The Football Clubs Associations Champion Teams Championship is a men's association football league contested annually by the most recent winners of all local Football Clubs Associations championships in Greece. It is not considered part of the Greek football league system, due to a lack of formal structure, requiring all local F.C.A. championships to have been completed prior to its start.
The F.C.A. Champion Teams Championship was founded in 1968, and held annually during 1968−1977 going by the name "Amateur Championship" as a means of achieving promotion to the formally-structured Beta Ethniki.
As of 1987, the F.C.A. Champion Teams Championship role was diminished to determining promotion to the Delta Ethniki by the local FCA champions. In fact, during the 2002−03 season, due to a re-structuring of the league system, the F.C.A. Champion Teams Championship was contested by Delta Ethniki Group winners, as a means of determining which clubs would eventually earn promotion to the Gamma Ethniki. The 19th edition of the competition took place during the 2011−12 post-season period.
On July 25, 2012 the Hellenic Football Federation decided to effectively neglect the outcome of the 2012 edition of the competition, thus allowing all local FCA champions to promote to the Delta Ethniki. The competition was not abolished however, and after merging the Delta and Gamma Ethniki into an amateur third level football league comprising six Groups, the F.C.A. Champion Teams Championship was re-purposed to determine promotion from local competitions to the national level. In the 22nd edition of the competition, the 14 Group winners earned promotion to the Gamma Ethniki, while the 2016 edition allowed twice as much clubs to advance to the Gamma Ethniki.
Anagennisi Arta is the most successful club, having reached the first place 4 times.

1968–1977 winners

The winners of the single knockout matches that were held as part of the "Amateur Championship" between local FCA champions in the years spanning between the 1967–68 and 1976–77 seasons were promoted to the Beta Ethniki.

1987–2001 winners

As of the 1986–87 and until the 2000–01 season the winners of the single knockout matches, contested by local FCA champions, were promoted to the Delta Ethniki. Due to the fact that the latter was organized into 4 Groups during these years, it was impossible for all FCA Winners' Champions to earn promotion to the Delta Ethniki.
