) and Iraklis, competed in a 2-legged final for the title of champion. AEK Athens won the championship, who were qualified for the national championship as the runner-up of Αthenian championship, with their then rising star, Kleanthis Maropoulos. Since 26 matchdays were required to complete the championship, it was decided that the clubs from the same region that were qualified for the national championship would not face each other again, but the results from their local championships would apply instead. From this period, the HFF established a ''point system of 3-2-1'' in all competitions, so that there was the ability of zeroing any team that refused to take part in a match. That system would eventually be applied until the 1972–73 season.
