The Football Clubs Associations Champion Teams Championship () is a men's association football league contested annually by the most recent winners of all local Football Clubs Associations championships in Greece. It is not considered part of the Greek football league system, due to a lack of formal structure, requiring all local F.C.A. championships to have been completed prior to its start.
The F.C.A. Champion Teams Championship was founded in 1968, and held annually during 1968âÂÂ1977 going by the name "Amateur Championship" as a means of achieving promotion to the formally-structured Beta Ethniki (the official 2nd tier of the Greek football league system, renamed in 2010 to Football League).
As of 1987, the F.C.A. Champion Teams Championship role was diminished to determining promotion to the Delta Ethniki (the fourth tier of the Greek football league system) by the local FCA champions. In fact, during the 2002âÂÂ03 season, due to a re-structuring of the Greek football league system, the F.C.A. Champion Teams Championship was contested by Delta Ethniki Group winners, as a means of determining which clubs would eventually earn promotion to the Gamma Ethniki (thus effectively cutting down the number of promoting teams from 10 to 5, winners being determined in single knockout matches held at neutral grounds). The 19th edition of the competition took place during the 2011âÂÂ12 post-season period.
On July 25, 2012 the Hellenic Football Federation decided to effectively neglect the outcome of the 2012 edition of the competition, thus allowing all local FCA champions to promote to the Delta Ethniki. The competition was not abolished however, and after merging the Delta and Gamma Ethniki into an amateur third level football league comprising six (and later four) Groups, the F.C.A. Champion Teams Championship was re-purposed to determine promotion from local competitions to the national level. In the 22nd edition of the competition (2015), the 14 Group winners earned promotion to the Gamma Ethniki, while the 2016 edition allowed twice as much clubs (28 in total, including Group runners-up) to advance to the Gamma Ethniki.
Anagennisi Arta is the most successful club, having reached the first place 4 times.
The winners of the single knockout matches that were held as part of the "Amateur Championship" between local FCA champions in the years spanning between the 1967âÂÂ68 and 1976âÂÂ77 seasons were promoted to the Beta Ethniki.
As of the 1986âÂÂ87 and until the 2000âÂÂ01 season the winners of the single knockout matches, contested by local FCA champions, were promoted to the Delta Ethniki. Due to the fact that the latter was organized into 4 Groups during these years, it was impossible for all FCA Winners' Champions to earn promotion to the Delta Ethniki.
In 2012, the Hellenic Football Federation re-instated the F.C.A. Champion Teams Championship in order for local champions to earn promotion to the recently re-formatted Gamma Ethniki. The Table below presents all F.C.A. Champion Teams Championship winners, as well as clubs also earning promotion to the Gamma Ethniki as runners-up (where indicated).
