The Women's Panhellenic Championship was founded in 1989. Prior to 1989, the championship was organised by the regional Football Clubs Associations. In 1989, the Hellenic Football Federation created a committee on women's association football which organized the Panhellenic Championship. In 1989, the first organization was made by Hellenic Football Federation (E.P.O.), which was named testing and the Hellenic Football Federation did not recognize him as a formal organization. The current champion is AEK Athens with 1 domestic title won in total.
Format
editThe 2009–10 championship is organized into one group of 7 clubs and one group of 8 clubs. In the first phase of the championship, each club in the first group plays a total of 12 matches (home and away) against the other 6 clubs in the group over 14 rounds,[3] while each club in the second group plays a total of 14 matches (home and away) against the other 7 clubs in the group over 14 rounds.[4] In the second phase, the top three clubs from each group with participate in a new group competition with each club playing 10 matches (home and away) against the other 5 clubs. The clubs which did not finish in the top three of their group in the first phase will be relegated to the regional competition for the 2010–11 season.[5]
From the 2010-11 season onwards, there will be no more different groups and stages. All 13 clubs will play a round robin league, so each team plays 24 matches. The champion will be the first-place finisher.
