What was the Soviet occupation that affected Moldovan clubs' participation in football?

  • Occupation of Crimea

  • Occupation of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina

  • Occupation of East Germany

  • Occupation of the Baltic States

Answer

The Soviet occupation of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina in 1940 had a significant impact on Moldovan football clubs. The occupation led to the dissolution of existing clubs and the establishment of new ones under Soviet control. These clubs were forced to compete in the Soviet football league system, which limited their ability to participate in international competitions and hindered their development.
