The 2010 Greek Cup final was the 66th final of the Greek Cup. The match took place on 24 April 2010 at Olympic Stadium. The contesting teams were Panathinaikos and Aris. [1] It was Panathinaikos' twenty seventh Greek Cup final in their 102-year history and Aris' ninth Greek Cup final in their 96 years of existence. Aris achieved a record of most mass movement of fans in Greece. About 25,000 Aris' fans followed their team to the Olympic Stadium forming a queue of many kilometers on the Thessaloniki-Athens highway from a number of buses, as well as cars. It was characteristic that the last vehicle of the procession arrived at the stadium three hours after the arrival of the first. [2]
