The best 33 football players of the Soviet Union

The List of 33 Best Football Players of the Year (Список 33 лучших футболистов сезона в СССР) was an annual award list of the former Soviet Union which ran from 1948 to 1991.

[1] The award was not related to the independent Soviet Footballer of the Year award which ran from 1964 until 1991 on a poll conducted among journalists, rather than among coaches.

[citation needed] Following the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, the Russian Football Federation instituted a similar list in 1992 for the Russian league (ru:Список 33 лучших футболистов чемпионата России).

[citation needed] The Ukrainian newspaper Komanda also instituted a similar list for List of 33 Best Football Players of the Year in Ukraine.
