Greece. Ranked 17th. The usual leaders and no surprises.
Second Division. 18 teams – the top 3 promoted up, the bottom 4 relegated down.

PAS Giannina – 3rd with 40 points and promoted back to top flight.
Panachaiki – 2nd with 43 points and promoted. What a roller-coaster the last few years were: first, relegation from the top league, where the club was a solid member for a long time, then barely escaped relegation from Second Division in the previous season, but now going up again.
Athinaikos (Athens) – champion with 46 points: 18 wins, 10 ties, 6 losses, 50-26. Recently, the club was performing well and finally won the Second Division championship. A great success of one of the least known clubs of Athens, which never played top league football before. But ambition paid of.
Brand new champions in their finest moment – a dream came true and perhaps Athinaikos was going to grow some grass on the their field for the debut in the First Division. Lovely and memorable season for the guys sporting yellow and red.
