![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/64/Gekas.jpg/220px-Gekas.jpg)
This page is a list of the hat-tricks scored for the Greece national football team.[1] Since Greece's first international association football match in 1929, there have been 10 occasions when a Greek player has scored three or more goals (a hat-trick) in a game. The first hat-trick was scored by Antonis Tsolinas against Bulgaria on 7 December 1930, at the 1929-31 Balkan Cup. The record for the most goals scored in an international game by a Greek player is five, which has been achieved on just one occasion: by Dimitris Saravakos against Egypt in 1990, and he is closely followed by Antonis Tsolinas and Fanis Gekas who both managed to score 4 goals.
Fanis Gekas holds the record for the most hat-tricks scored by a Greek player with two, the first coming in a UEFA Euro 2008 qualifier against Malta and the second came in a 2010 World Cup qualifier in a 5–2 win over Latvia.
