The 1991–92 Soviet Cup was the last edition of the knockout football cup of an already non-existing political entity, the Soviet Union.

Contents

Political background

On December 25, 1991, the President of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev announced that he resigns as president. On December 26, the Soviet of the Republics, the upper chamber of the Union's Supreme Soviet, voted the Soviet Union out of existence [1] [2] (the lower chamber, the Council of the Union, had been unable to work since December 12, when the recall of the Russian deputies left it without a quorum).

In addition to the already ongoing hostilities instigated by the Moscow government, number of "unfriendly gestures" as well as direct internal interventions into Ukrainian politics were made towards Ukraine starting from January of 1992. [3]

Organizational issues

Despite being informed by the Football Federation of Ukraine in November of 1991 that Ukrainian clubs will not take part in the competition, the Football Federation of the Soviet Union ignored the notice and seeded Ukrainian clubs. Ukrainian clubs however were taking place in the 1992 Ukrainian Cup since February of 1992.

Because of that only one game was played during the competition's quarterfinals, while a club from Tajikistan, Pamir Dushanbe, advanced to the semifinals where it was eliminated.

The winner of the competition, Spartak Moscow, qualified for the continental tournament representing Russia in the 1992–93 European Cup Winners' Cup.
