The 1996 Greek Super Cup was the 8th edition of the Greek Super Cup, an association football match contested by the winners of the previous season's Alpha Ethniki and Greek Cup competitions. The match took place on 11 August 1996 at Karaiskakis Stadium. The contesting teams were the 1995–96 Alpha Ethniki champions, Panathinaikos and the 1995–96 Greek Cup winners, AEK Athens.[1][2][3] AEK Athens won 9–8 on a penalty shoot-out after a 1–1 draw at the end of extra time.[4]
This was the second Greek Super Cup held at Karaiskakis Stadium, after 1980.
Karaiskakis Stadium was built in 1895 and renovated once in 1964. The stadium is used as a venue for Olympiacos and Ethnikos Piraeus and was used for Greece in various occasions. Its current capacity is 42,000 and hosted a European Cup Winners' Cup final in 1971 and will host the fist leg of the 1971 Intercontinental Cup final.[5]
