 2014 United Tournament | |
The United Tournament is an exhibition football club tournament between two best clubs from Ukraine and two from Russia.[1][2] The context of the tournament are the talks which are held regarding creating the United CIS championship, or joint Russia–Ukraine league.[3] The organisers of the tournament were the same people in charge of drafting a proposal for the united league.[4] On 7 July 2013, Dynamo Kyiv beat Spartak Moscow 2–1 and won the first tournament.[5][6]
The format of the tournament was taken from the Channel One Cup[7], which was held few years earlier, and was even named by some as a "reincarnation of the Channel One Cup".[8]
