Report

With the USSR already breaking up, CSKA Moscow won the Supreme League in 1991, and Rotor Volgograd the First League. The Second League was broken up into three zones, the winners being Asmaral Moscow (Central), Okean Nakhodka (East) and Karpaty Lvov (West). The Third League was divided into 10 Zones – The Last winners of Armenia (Syunik Kapan), Azerbaijan (Kazar Sumgait) and Ukraine (Neftyanik Aktyrka) as parts of the USSR or Russia were decided that year.

There were also two Central Asian Zones which would soon gain independence as five separate countries: Uzbek/Turkmen/Tadzhik Zone won by Traktor Tashkent and a Kazakh/Kirghiz Zone won by Aktyubinets Aktybinsk. The Siberian Zone was won by Lokomotiv Chita and the four European Russia Zones won by Zhemchuzhina Sochi, Spartak Anapa Rubin Kazan and Prometey Dynamo Sankt Peterburg.

With Georgia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania already independent and running their own leagues, the USSR Football system would break up fully at the end of the year along with Communist Europe itself. The only league which geographically belongs here of those Nations is Georgia, which was won by Iberiya.

Report

Reunion won the Indian Ocean Games Soccer Tournament in 2007 in Antananarivo in Madagascar. Featuring the National Teams of six Island Nations in the Indian Ocean, the Games could hardly have been closer in the Group Stages with Group A decided only on goal difference after all three countries finished with one win and one loss each, Mauritius and Mayotte Qualifying for the Semi-Finals. In Group B Madagascar won the only match that didn’t end in a draw, sending themselves and Reunion through at the expense of the Comoros Islands. Madagascar reached the Final along with Reunion who clinched the title 7-6 on penalties after a 0-0 draw.

Report

Champions of the Five Central Asian Republics who broke away from the USSR in 1992 were Kairat Alma-Ata (Kazakhstan), Alga Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan), Pamir Dushanbe (Tajikistan), Kopetdag Ashkhabad (Turkmenistan) and Pakhtakor Tashkent (Uzbekistan).

Central Asian Republics broke away from the USSR in 1992 and formed their own Independent Nations, with their own Football Associations. For a while they operated on the fringes of Europe, although by 2020 they had all joined the Central Asian Football Association (CAFA) along with Iran and Afghanistan, within the Asian Football Confederation, with the exception of Kazakhstan, who joined UEFA (the European Association).

Report

Bermuda and Trinidad & Tobago caused a major surprise in the Pan-American Games Soccer Tournament in Winnipeg, Canada, in 1967, with Bermuda defeating Trinidad in the Semi-Finals before falling in extra-time to Mexico in the Final. Bermuda had finished second in their pool, having defeated USA 7-3, and drawn with both Canada and Chile.

Trinidad & Tobago had likewise caused a major upset in the Pool Stage, triumphing 5-2 over Colombia and 1-0 over Argentina. They topped the group having also drawn with CONCACAF powerhouse Mexico. The other Semi-Final qualifier were hosts, Canada.

A crowd of 11,000 watched the Semi-Final between Canada and Mexico, which saw Canada score first, before Mexico got two back for the win. Mexico dominated the Final, but were unable to score in the regulation 90 minutes, before breaking down the Bermuda defense in extra-time, opening the floodgates for a 4-0 win.
