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 |
