Double (association football)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Double, in association football, is the achievement of winning a country's top tier division and its primary cup competition in the same season. It can also mean beating a team both home and away in the same league season, a feat often noted as doing the double over a particular side.

The first club to achieve a double was Preston North End in 1889, winning the FA Cup and the Football League in the inaugural season of the league.

Philippines Philippines

Due to the sporadic nature of football competitions in the country, with a league not in place until the 21st century, and only the United Football League (UFL) to last more than a season, and a national cup competition not being consistently held annually, achieving a double has been mostly impossible until recently. The establishment of the UFL in 2009 led to annual league and cup tournaments. The institution of the PFF National Men's Club Championship (the national cup) in 2011 (next held in 2013) after years of dormancy meant that a domestic treble could now be contested. In 2013, a super cup is expected to be played, paving the way for a UFL treble.

Since the establishment of the UFL in 2009, a league double has been achieved twice. A domestic double (a title each from the UFL and the PFF) or a domestic treble (a UFL double and a PFF title) has yet to be won.

Currently in the United States, the Double may mean either the MLS Double, which is achieved by winning both the MLS Supporters Shield and the MLS Cup,[1] or a league/cup Double of either the MLS Cup or Supporters Shield, in addition to the US Open Cup or Canadian Championship for United States and Canadian clubs, respectively. The Double may also be a combination of any of the domestic cups mentioned above and the CONCACAF Champions League. As of 2013, neither team has achieved the Double of either an MLS honour or a domestic cup and the CONCACAF Champions League in the same season, or a Treble of any combination mentioned.

Germany Germany

Germany Inter-war period

A national cup competition was introduced in Germany in 1935, and was known as the Tschammer-Pokal for the country's then minister of sport. Between 1935 and the suspension of cup play in 1944 because of World War II, the Double was won only once.

  • Schalke 04 1937

Germany Bundesliga era

Play for what had become the DFB-Pokal was resumed following the war in 1953 and up until well after the formation of the Bundesliga in 1963, no club was able to complete the double. A new cup trophy was introduced as it was felt the previous one was associated with the Nazi period.

In the modern-day Bundesliga era, the double has been won by several clubs.

  • Bayern Munich (9) 1969, 1986, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2013 (as part of treble)
  • FC Köln 1978
  • Werder Bremen 2004

East Germany East Germany (defunct)

Following World War II, a separate football competition emerged in the Russian-occupied eastern area of Germany. The first division DDR-Oberliga was active from 1947–48 to 1990–91 (not held 1960–61) and saw the introduction of the FDGB-Pokal in 1949. The cup competition was not staged in 1950–51, 1952–53 and 1960–61. Five doubles were won in East German competition:

Since the reunification of Germany no former East German club has won either the Bundesliga title or the DFB Pokal, and as of 2014, none of these former double winners are competing in the top tier.

In Romania the Double is called the Event and can be achieved by winning the Liga I and the Cupa României. The team that has won the most doubles to date is Steaua Bucureşti, with eight wins, followed by their city rivals, Dinamo Bucureşti with six wins. In recent times, CFR Cluj has won the Double twice, being the fourth non-Bucharest team to do so, after Universitatea Craiova, UT Arad and, the now defunct team, Ripensia Timişoara.

Soviet Union Soviet Union and Russia Russia

Six teams achieved the Double of the Soviet Top League and the USSR Cup in the former in the Soviet Union. The final Soviet championship was contested in 1991 and, following the break-up of the USSR, newly independent states organised their own national competitions, with UEFA holding the Russian Premier League / Russian Cup as successor to the old Soviet league / USSR Cup.

All but two of the Soviet-era winners were clubs were from Soviet Russia (RSFSR), with the exceptions being from the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic. Both of these clubs have since won the Double in their new leagues, while other ex-Soviet clubs that never won the Soviet Double, have gone on to win their current domestic Double.

Sweden Sweden

In Sweden six teams have won the double when counting winning the highest league tier, Allsvenskan, and the national cup tournament, Svenska Cupen, during the same season. It should however be noted that Svenska Cupen wasn't introduced until the 1941 season while Allsvenskan started for the 1923–24 season. Svenska Cupen was also not played between 1954 and 1966. It should also be considered that winning Allsvenskan did not grant the title of Swedish champions until 1931 and between 1982 and 1992 when the title was given to the winner of other cup tournaments that were organized at the end of the league season.[2] The number of doubles for IFK Göteborg and Malmö FF are affected by this. IFK Göteborg won the Swedish Championship together with Svenska Cupen in one additional season to the table below, they won the two titles in 1983, a year when they did not win Allsvenskan. Additionally while Malmö won Allsvenskan in 1989, they were not Swedish Championships for that season as they did not win the play-off following the ordinary league play. All other teams in the table below won the Swedish Championship in their double-winning seasons. The latest club to win a double is AIK who completed the feat in 2009. In 1982, IFK Göteborg also managed to combine it's double with winning the UEFA Cup.

League & League Cup Double

A rarer, and less coveted, domestic double is that of winning the league championship and the League Cup. In many leagues this can not be done as there is no second domestic cup competition (as in Italy and the Netherlands) or it has been disbanded (such as in Spain and Denmark). The format of league cups and the number of participating teams can vary enormously from one country to another. In the case of Germany, it should be noted that the DFB-Ligapokal was played in the summer months prior to the Bundesliga and therefore was won in the preceding calendar year to the title win.

Doubles in lower divisions

In many countries, knock-out competitions exclusive to clubs outside the top division(s) also exist. This gives lower ranked clubs a chance to win a double. Examples include:

  • Italy Cagliari Calcio won Serie C1 (third tier) and the Coppa Italia Serie C in 1988–89
  • Scotland Falkirk won Scottish First Division (second tier) and Scottish Challenge Cup in 1993–94 and 2004–05
  • Scotland Inverness CT won Scottish First Division (second tier) and Scottish Challenge Cup in 2003–04
  • Scotland St. Mirren won Scottish First Division (second tier) and Scottish Challenge Cup in 2005–06
  • Scotland Queen of the South won Scottish Second Division (third tier) and Scottish Challenge Cup in 2012-13
  • Scotland Clyde won Scottish B Division (second tier) and Supplementary Cup[3] (predecessor to the Scottish Challenge Cup) in 1951–52

Trans-State Double

A very rare event. A Trans-State double occurs when a club wins a league and a cup which technically belong to two different countries and different associations. This happens as a result of a change in the political situation in the club's home country. There are two useful examples:

Club League Won Cup Won Year Circumstance
Rapid Vienna Austrian Football Bundesliga Germany Tschammerpokal 1938 Anschluss
Spartak Moscow Russian Top League Soviet Cup 1992 Dissolution of the Soviet Union

European Doubles

The European Double (Double Champions)

In the same spirit as the European Treble, the European Double consists of winning the top tier European tournament (currently the UEFA Champions League) and domestic league title in a single season or calendar year. This has been achieved on 23 occasions by 15 clubs from 56 European competitions. FC Barcelona has achieved this on the most number of occasions (4). Ajax Amsterdam and Real Madrid are the only teams that have successfully defended a European Double. José Mourinho has the unique distinction of being the only manager to achieve this double with two different clubs, having done so with F.C. Porto (2004) and Internazionale (2010).

The Unbeaten Double

In 1994–95, Louis Van Gaal's Ajax with players such as Jari Litmanen, Patrick Kluivert, Marc Overmars, Frank and Ronald de Boer, Edgar Davids, Clarence Seedorf, Winston Bogarde, Michael Reiziger, and Edwin van der Sar succeeded an unbeaten double, winning the Dutch Eredivisie with a 27–7–0 record, and the UEFA Champions League with a 7–4–0 record. Van Gaal's dream team was the only club to achieve a European Double with no defeat.

League & Europa League Double

The UEFA Europa League (formerly the UEFA Cup), with a domestic league title win, offers the chance for a club to win a lesser European double; but arguably a more prestigious achievement than a domestic double. This has been completed on fourteen occasions.

Simlarly, there were six occasions of clubs winning their League and the now defunct UEFA Cup Winners' Cup (CWC). No club ever won the CWC as part of a recognised treble. In the case of FC Mageburg and Dynamo Kiev, it is also worth noting that the domestic Championships they won are also now disbanded, due to German reunification and the disintegration of the Soviet Union respectively.

L A unique Cup Treble.

Other

A combination of domestic league or cup and a lesser domestic or continental trophy may be won in the same season. Examples include (this list does not include doubles achieved as part of a treble):

  • Chicago Fire won the MLS Supporters' Shield and US Open Cup in 2003.
  • Espanyol won the Copa del Rey and Copa Catalunya in 2006. This would not normally be counted as a domestic cup double comparable to those mentioned above, as the latter competition is not nationwide or league-wide.

International Double

A national team cannot usually win a FIFA World Cup and their continental championship in the same year because they are usually not held in the same year (except for the Africa Cup of Nations), but one which wins both titles consecutively could be said to have "done the double".
