The USSR Super Cup,[a] also known as the Season's Cup,[b] was an unofficial exhibition game (or game series) not sanctioned by the Football Federation of the Soviet Union and that featured the winners of the previous season's Soviet Top League and USSR Cup in a one- or two-legged playoff for the trophy.
The mini-tournament was conducted on the initiative of the Komsomolskaya Pravda editor's administration out of Moscow.
The Super Cup was made to take place during midseason and further complicated clubs' schedules.
[citation needed] In 1987, with Spartak Moscow winning league honors and Dynamo Kyiv winning the USSR Cup, the Super Cup match was scheduled to take place in Chişinău, Moldova.
The last USSR Super Cup took place in Sochi, Russia, where the match was played in front of 1,500 fans.
