Football Cup of the Soviet Union among teams of physical culture collectives (Russian: Кубок СССР по футболу среди команд коллективов физической культуры, romanized: Kubok SSR po futbolu spedi komand kollektivov fizichkoy kyl'tur') was an association football competitions among amateur clubs and physical culture collectives that were conducted in the Soviet Union in 1957–1991 under auspices of the Football Federation of the Soviet Union. Throughout its history the tournament was also known as the VTsSPS[a] Cup, Soviet Cup among production collectives, and Cup of the millions.[1]
In 1957 in the Soviet football took place another reform, after which physical culture collectives (amateur teams) were restricted from competing in the Soviet Cup and for them was organized a separate tournament. The competition was conducted among the best "collectives of physical culture" that won their respective regional Cup competitions. In 1962–1967 the winner was identified in the final group stage. In 1981–1988 the competition was not conducted.[citation needed]
