Double (association football)
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. The lists in this article examine this definition of a double, while derivative sections examine much less frequent, continental instances. The Double 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 opponent.
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.
The team who holds the record for the most doubles is Linfield of Northern Ireland, with a total of 24.

Afghanistan
In Afghanistan, there are no national cups. The Afghan Premier League is the only national football competition in the country since 2012.
Australia
From 1977 to 1997, the double could be achieved in Australia by winning the National Soccer League and the NSL Cup.
Between 1997 and 2014, Australia had no national cup competition so the traditional league and cup double could not be achieved. Since the formation of the A-League in 2004, a double could be accomplished by winning the Premiership in the regular league season and the Championship in the finals series. The feat of winning the minor premiership and the finals during the NSL era was not officially recognised as a 'double'.
From 2014–15, the FFA Cup will take place on an annual basis.

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.

United States
Men
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 2016, no team has achieved the Treble of both MLS honours and a domestic cup in the same season.
The following is a list of doubles in the United States in the MLS era:
Club | Number | Seasons |
---|---|---|
D.C. United | 1996 (MLS Cup, US Open Cup), 1997 (Supporters Shield, MLS Cup), 1999 (Supporters Shield, MLS Cup) | |

Seattle Sounders | 2014 (Supporters Shield, US Open Cup) | |
FC Dallas | 2016 (Supporters Shield, US Open Cup) | |
Women
There is no currently sanctioned National Cup in the United States for women, so the only way to achieve the Double in the United States is through a league double (winning the Shield or its equivalent for the best regular-season record).
The Women's United Soccer Association did not have formal recognition of the team with the best regular season record, but during the 2002 WUSA season, the Carolina Courage had the best regular season record and won the Founder's Cup, the WUSA Championship Trophy.
Women's Professional Soccer, which operated from 2009-2011, had one club win both the regular season championship and the WPS Championship (the latter through the playoffs): During the 2011 Women's Professional Soccer season, the Western New York Flash had the best regular season record, and won in the Championship match on August 27, 2011 to win the WPS Championship and the double.
The National Women's Soccer League has not seen a double in its first three seasons (2013-2015).

Brazil
Due to the large size of the country and the late development of the transportion and communication infrastructure needed to support it, a nationwide competition did not emerge until 1959. For 30 years, a domestic double was not possible since there existed only one national tournament. An exception was the 1967 season, when Palmeiras won the double consisting of the inaugural Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa and the final edition of the Taça Brasil.[2][3]
Since the founding of the Copa do Brasil in 1989, there has been only one domestic double at national level: Cruzeiro won the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A and the Copa do Brasil in 2003 as part of the treble, also taking the title in their state league, the Campeonato Mineiro.

From 1993 to 2003, the league champions were determined by a knockout tournament between the top-finishing teams at the end of the season, the team that finished in first place during the league phase of the season were not officially awarded a title.
From 2003, the league system in the country was drastically structured and saw the National Soccer League disband, with its teams now competing on a regional basis. The New Zealand Football Championship was formed and became the country's national league, exclusively ran for franchised teams as opposed to the traditional clubs that competed in the National Soccer League.
As with most franchise leagues, the Football Championship is split into two phases; the Premiership during the regular season and the Championship during the finals phase, which is contested between the top four-placed teams of the Premiership phase. The franchises are ineligible to participate in the Chatham Cup so the teams in the Football Championship don't have a cup competition to compete in.

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
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 only four clubs. Bayern Munich holds the record, with 11.
- Bayern Munich (11) – 1969, 1986, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2013 (as part of treble), 2014, 2016

- Werder Bremen – 2004
- Borussia Dortmund – 2012
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:
- Dynamo Dresden (3) – 1971, 1977, 1990
- Dynamo Berlin – 1988
- Hansa Rostock – 1991
Since the reunification of Germany, no former East German club has won either the Bundesliga title nor the DFB-Pokal, and as of 2014, none of these former double winners are competing in the top tier.

Luxembourg
In Luxembourgian football, the Double is made up of the National Division title and the Luxembourg Cup. As there are no other senior football competitions in the country, and no club have never come close to winning any European tournament, the Double is the ultimate achievement for a Luxembourgian club in one season.
By far, the most successful club has been Jeunesse Esch, who have completed eight Doubles.

Moldova
Sheriff Tiraspol were only founded in 1997, but have come to dominate the Moldovan game, winning every title from 2001 to 2010 inclusive. Seven of these were double wins (Moldovan National Division and Moldovan Cup). Sheriff, however, have never won the Moldovan Super Cup in any of their Double-winning years, though one reason for this was the Super Cup was not played in 2009 and 2010. One other club, Zimbru Chișinău, has won the double, in 1998.

Sweden
In Sweden, six teams have won the Double of the Swedish championship and the Svenska Cupen.
It should be noted, however, that the Svenska Cupen was not 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.[4] 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 its double with winning the UEFA Cup.

League & League Cup Double
A rarer (though less coveted) domestic double is that of winning the league championship and the League Cup. In many leagues, this cannot be done as there is no second domestic cup competition (such 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:
- Cagliari won Serie C1 (third tier) and the Coppa Italia Serie C in 1988–89
- Spezia won Lega Pro Prima Divisione (third tier) and the Coppa Italia Lega Pro in 2011–12
- Birmingham City won Division Two (third tier) and Football League Trophy in 1994–95
- Wolverhampton Wanderers won Fourth Division (fourth tier) and Football League Trophy in 1987–88
- Milton Keynes Dons won League Two (fourth tier) and Football League Trophy in 2007–08
- Wycombe Wanderers won Conference (fifth tier) and the FA Trophy in 1992–93
- Falkirk won Scottish First Division (second tier) and Scottish Challenge Cup in 1993–94 and 2004–05
- Inverness CT won Scottish First Division (second tier) and Scottish Challenge Cup in 2003–04
- St Mirren won Scottish First Division (second tier) and Scottish Challenge Cup in 2005–06
- Queen of the South won Scottish Second Division (third tier) and Scottish Challenge Cup in 2012–13
- Clyde won Scottish B Division (second tier) and Supplementary Cup[5] (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 usually happens as a result of a change in the political situation in the club's home country, or if the club has expatriated and is eligible to participate in the competitions of its native country and its adopted one.

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 27 occasions by 15 clubs from 56 European competitions. Barcelona has achieved this on the most number of occasions (5). Ajax 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 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, Finidi George, Nwankwo Kanu, Frank de Boer, 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.

League and Cup Winners' Cup
Similarly, 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 1. FC Magdeburg and Dynamo Kyiv, 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.

Continental Double Outside of Europe
Outside the UEFA confederation winning the Continental Double may be won in a calendar year, rather than a single season.
Cup Double
There are various possible combinations of winning two knock-out competitions.
Domestic Cup Double
A Domestic Cup Double consists of winning both domestic cup competitions in a single season or calendar year (for seasons when this double was won in conjunction with the league title see Domestic Treble). Examples include:
European Cup Double
There have been several occasions when a club has won its association's cup or league cup and a UEFA trophy but not its League title. For European cup doubles won in conjunction with the League title, see The Treble.
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):
- Barcelona's 1960 team won both La Liga and the Fairs Cup.
- Real Zaragoza won a Fairs Cup and Copa del Rey double in the 1963–64 season.
- Leeds United were the first English team to win a double involving European and domestic trophies. It was in 1968 when Leeds won the Football League Cup and Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.[6]
- Chicago Fire won the MLS Supporters' Shield and US Open Cup in 2003.
- Dinamo Tbilisi won the Georgian Cup and CIS Cup in 2004.
- 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.
- FC Copenhagen won the Danish Superliga and the pan-Scandinavian Royal League in 2006.
- FBK Kaunas won the Lithuanian Football Cup and Baltic League in 2008.
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 until 2010), but one which wins both titles consecutively could be said to have "done the double".
World and continental champions
- Uruguay won the gold medal at the 1924 Summer Olympics and the 1924 South American Championship. (Prior to the FIFA World Cup's foundation in 1930, the Olympic champions were considered to be the world champions).
- West Germany won UEFA Euro 1972 and the 1974 FIFA World Cup
- France won the 1998 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2000; they also won the 1998 King Hassan II International Cup Tournament and the 2000 King Hassan II International Cup Tournament
- Brazil won the 2002 FIFA World Cup and the 2004 Copa América
- Spain won UEFA Euro 2008, the 2010 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2012
World and other tournament champions

Double Winning Managers
- William Sudell, as manager of Preston North End won the inaugural First Division going unbeaten in the league (12 clubs:22 games) and won the eighteenth edition of the FA Cup without conceding a goal in that competition in 1888–89.
- Jock Stein won the double on 9 occasions with Celtic between 1967 and 1977: 4 the doubles of the Scottish league championship and the Scottish Cup, 3 the doubles of the Scottish league championship and the Scottish League Cup and 2 the Treble.
- Sir Alex Ferguson has won the double on four occasions; with Aberdeen in 1983–84, and with Manchester United in 1993–94, 1995–96 and 1998–99. This achievement makes him the only manager to win the double on both sides of the Anglo-Scottish border.
- Sven-Göran Eriksson is the only manager to win a domestic double in three different countries, having done so in Sweden, Portugal and Italy with IFK Göteborg (1981–82), Benfica (1982–83) and Lazio (1999–2000) respectively. Note that this included back-to-back double wins in separate countries.
- Louis van Gaal won the double with Barcelona in 1997–98 and Bayern Munich in 2009–10; subsequent to his undefeated European Double with Ajax in 1994–95.
