The only game between the capital's teams Stalinets and Serp i Molot took place at the Stalinets Stadium (used to stand where today Lokomotiv Stadium stands).
In the beginning, it was expected that Lokomotiv Tbilisi would be playing in Group B, but later they switched with Dinamo Tbilisi taking their place in the lower Group V. The winner was planned to play off against the poorest performer of the Group A.
Dynamo Kharkiv withdrew from the competition due to health problems of its players.
