ABSTRACT
Despite the fact that over the last few decades Greek top-tier football has experienced numerous changes the organisational aspect of Greek football has attracted limited academic focus. Against this background, the current chapter looks at Greek football with particular focus on its organisational structure. A brief historical overview of Greek football is given, before its transformation from sports clubs into companies is discussed. The core discourse concerns the institutional structure, power struggles among the football authorities, and the financial regulations which underpin the leagues. The chapter then outlines four characteristic types of ownership seen in Greek football companies, and briefly concludes with some possible suggestions for tackling the organisational challenges which confront Greek top-tier football.
