The Big Three (Greek: Οι μεγάλοι τρεις, hoi megaloi treis) is the nickname of the three most successful sports clubs in Greece, all of whom are located within the so called Attica basin or Athens metropolitan area. The football teams of AEK, Olympiacos and Panathinaikos have a great rivalry, and are usually the main contenders for the title. Combined they share a total of 80 out of 88 Greek Football Championships ever played and generally they usually end up sharing the top three positions. A.E.K. have won 13 League titles (2023 was the last one), Olympiacos a record 47 (2022) and Panathinaikos 20 (2010).[1][2][3][4]
