Double (association Football) - Trans-State Double

A very rare event. A Trans-State double occurs when a club wins a league and a cup which technically belong to two different countries and different associations. This happens as a result of a change in the political situation in the club’s home country. There are two useful examples:

Club League Won Cup Won Year Circumstance
Rapid Vienna Austrian Football Bundesliga Tschammerpokal 1938 Anschluss
Spartak Moscow Russian Top League Soviet Cup 1992 Dissolution of the Soviet Union
