2nd Greek title (2 goals)

The 1939–40 Panhellenic Championship was the 11th season of the highest football league of Greece and the last before the WW2 took place. It was carried out with a system similar to that of the previous season in which 14 teams participated again, 8 from the Central and 6 from North Greece, which were divided into groups. As of the previous season, since a total of 30 matchdays were required to complete the championship, the clubs from the same region that were qualified for the national championship did not face against each other again but the results from their local championships applied instead.

The teams of the Central Greece formed the South group and resulted as follows:

Athenian Championship: The first 5 teams of the ranking.
Piraeus' Championship: The first 3 teams of the ranking.

The teams of the Νorth Group were initially divided into two subgroups. The teams of the Thessaloniki formed the North subgroup A and resulted as follows:

Macedonian Championship: The first 3 teams of the ranking.

The teams of Serres, East Macedonia and Thrace formed the North subgroup B and resulted as follows:

Serres' Championship: The winner.
Thracian Championship: The winner.
East Macedonian Championship: The winner.

The two winners competed in double games to become the champion of the Northe group. The champions of South and North, AEK Athens and PAOK, competed in a 2-legged final for the title. AEK were crowned champions for second consecutive season, with Kleanthis Maropoulos being the protagonist as the last year. AEK had a great team then and throughout the year they had only one defeat in the South group against Olympiacos. In both local championship of Athens and the finals, AEK achieved only victories. The point system was: Win: 3 points - Draw: 2 points - Loss: 1 point.
