Easter Cup
The first Easter Cup was organized by P.O.K. in 1928 with the participation of the Serbian and Romanian Beogradski benzo corps. It continued, with interruptions, until 1964. Of the total of 22 events that took place, one (in 1948) stopped before completion. After Olympiakos, who won the cup 10 times, came AEK and Panathinaikos with four wins and lastly, with one win each, came Ethnikos Piraeus, German team Cologne RT and Romanian team Progkresoul Bucharest. From 1930 to 1935 there were no events held due to obligations of the top clubs (POK) on the national stage, but the three POK teams continued to play each other in the stadium of Alexandras Avenue during Easter.
