Poseidon Neon Poron was crowned champion, thus winning promotion to Beta Ethniki.[1] Ergotelis also won promotion as a runner-up, Levadiakos was also promoted after defeating Kavala 2-1 in a single play-off match at Alcazar Stadium in Larissa between the 14th placed team of Beta Ethniki and the 3rd placed team of Gamma Ethniki,[2] and Niki Volos was administratively promoted due to the withdrawal of Ethnikos Olympiacos Volos from Beta Ethniki due to the debts.
