An Additional Round was held between First and Second, with 5 matches, in order that the teams would continue to be 32. For first time participated teams from Gamma Ethniki, while that year the particular division was established.

The Final was contested by AEK Athens and PAOK. The two teams not only met themselves for a fourth consecutive year in the competition (PAOK had qualified the three previous times), but also 5 years afterwards AEK Athens' win in 1978 Final. In their advance to the Final, AEK eliminated Olympiacos with two wins in quarter-finals, and Iraklis, with difficulty, with the Away goals rule in semi-finals.
