The Greek Super League, officially known as the Super League Greece 1, is the top professional football division in Greece and the pinnacle of the country's football pyramid. Founded in 2006 as a reorganization of the former Alpha Ethniki, it is operated by the Super League Greece organization and is headquartered in Athens. The league is renowned for its intense rivalries, particularly the historic clash between Olympiacos and Panathinaikos, known as the "Derby of the eternal enemies." The competition format involves 14 teams playing a regular season of home-and-away matches. After 26 rounds, the league splits into a championship playoff group and a relegation playoff group, with points halved, to determine the final standings. The champion qualifies for the UEFA Champions League, with other European spots allocated to high finishers. The league boasts significant commercial value and passionate fan bases, though it has faced financial challenges. Key individual awards include the MVP of the season and the top scorer, who receives the "Golden Boot."
