The Pre-Mediterranean Cup was an association football friendly tournament competition hosted by the Hellenic Football Federation in Athens.

In June 1991, the one and only Pre-Mediterranean cup were conducted in Georgios Kamaras Stadium, the home field of Apollon Smyrna, with the participation of the best-eight football clubs in Greece. Olympiacos, Panathinaikos, PAOK and Iraklis forfeited the competition due to their players being tired from constant Superleague (known as A Ethniki at the time) games. In the semi-finals, AEK Athens played against Apollon Smyrnis and won 4-2, and OFI played against Athinaikos and won 1-0. In the final game of the competition, AEK Athens secured a 1-0 victory against OFI Crete to obtain the title, the only goal of the game was scored by Takis Karagiozopoulos from the penalty spot.[1][2]
