- USSR Super Cup
The USSR Super Cup, or Season's Cup, featured the winners of the previous season's
Soviet Top League andUSSR Cup in a one or two legged playoff for the trophy. The competition never took off, as the Super Cup winner was only determined 7 times in the last 15 years of Soviet football. It wasn't until 1983 that the Super Cup was made a regular fixture in the Soviet football calendar. Oddly enough, the Super Cup was made to take place during midseason and further complicated clubs' schedules. In1987 , with Spartak Moscow winning league honors andDynamo Kyiv winning the USSR Cup, the Super Cup match was schedules to take place inChişinău ,Moldova . However, the match never took place because of inadequate facilities inChişinău . The last USSR Super Cup took place inSochi ,Russia , where the match was played with only 1,500 fans.Finals
