The Hellenic Football Federation has created a new competition, that amateur team of amateur Gamma Ethniki compete together in a cup competition more competitive than the cups of local associations. The participation of all teams of Gamma Ethniki is obligatory.

- In second round (quarterfinals) participate eight teams: six Cup Winners Groups and two of the six finalists, selected after drawing. The eight teams after the draw compete on singles knockout matches at the home ground of the group will favor the draw.
- In third round (semifinals) four teams compete after drawing in double knockout matches (with Away goals rule) and the two winners advance to the final.
