They competed in the Alpha Ethniki, the Greek Cup and the Balkans Cup. The season began on 7 October 1967 and finished on 31 August 1968. Overview In the summer of 1967, ambitions of AEK Athens for the season were strengthened by the presence of Jenő Csaknády from its beginning.https://www.enwsi.gr/136419/retro-aek/i-mera-pou-efige-o-megalos-tsaknanti.html Η μέρα που «έφυγε» ο μεγάλος Τσάκναντι Σταύρος Καζαντζόγλου 7 January 2020 enwsi.gr Evaluating the roster, the manager decided that without the need for any major signings, he could turn the club into title favourites.https://www.aek-live.gr/i-agonistiki-politistiki-antistasi-tis-aek-tou-1968/ Η αγωνιστική - πολιτιστική... αντίσταση της ΑΕΚ του 1968! 17 April 2018 aek-live.gr The previous season, in which Csaknády had managed to bring AEK back into title contention despite being six points behind Olympiacos, convinced the club that another championship triumph, similar to that of 1963, was possible. Csaknády instilled discipline and determination within the squad, with the players fully committed to both the team and their manager.https://www.aekfc.gr/hp/i-istoria-mas-42825.htm?lang=en&path=-234507649&tab=0&place=0 1959 - 1968 aekfc.gr AEK entered the championship race and in their first six matches achieved five wins and a draw in the derby against Panathinaikos at Leoforos Alexandras Stadium. The defeat in Katerini against Pierikos by 1–0 on 29 November temporarily removed them from the top of the standings. The yellow-blacks responded emphatically in the following matchday, when they defeated fellow title contenders Olympiacos 4–1 at Karaiskakis Stadium. As the league race progressed, AEK performed strongly in derby matches throughout the season, achieving five victories in six matches against the three big clubs of Thessaloniki, with Aris being the only side to hold them to a draw on their home ground. With the victory against Panathinaikos at home the yellow-blacks maintained their unbeaten derby record, with the only remaining derby being the match against Olympiacos at Nea Filadelfeia. On 31 March, AEK effectively secured the title on the 26th matchday with their second 2–1 victory over the Piraeus club. The win was celebrated by the thousands of supporters at the stadium, with some of them entering the pitch and taking the jerseys and shorts of the players as souvenirs.https://www.aek365.org/a-983418/anatroph-titlou-th-aek-me-sfragida-kwsta-nikolaidh-video.htm Ανατροπή τίτλου της ΑΕΚ με σφραγίδα Κώστα Νικολαΐδη 31 March 2024 aek365.org The championship was mathematically secured on 4 April, in the 1–0 win against Panelefsiniakos away from home.https://www.rsssf.org/tablesg/grkhist.html#68 Greece 1967/68 RSSSFhttps://www.aekfc.gr/cdp/protathlima-1968-45029.htm?lang=en&path=1222011544 CHAMPIONSHIP 1968 aekfc.gr While AEK had already been crowned champions, they were also considered favourites to win the Cup, which raised expectations of a domestic double. They entered the round of 32, where they eliminated Vyzas Megara away from home by defeating them 1–2 after extra time. Afterwards, they faced Aris at Thessaloniki for the round of the 16 and qualified with a 0–1 win. In the quarter-final they eliminated Panionios with another 0–1 away win. The semi-final draw brought them against Olympiacos at Karaiskakis Stadium.
