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 |

Famous quotes containing the word double:
“Hollywood held this double lure for me, tremendous sums of money for work that required no more effort than a game of pinochle.”
—Ben Hecht (18931964)
