They won its very first one in the 1988/89 season while the latest crown has been taken in 2017/18. TTSC UMMC played two times in the final and in both occasions lost to Fakel-Gazprom Orenburg (2018/19 and 2011/12).

Fakel-Gazprom Orenburg won the big trophy five times including the latest in season 2018/19. 1 FC Saarbrücken still awaits for the trophy. Last season they reached the semi final before Pandemic halted all games.

It is interesting that we will continue tomorrow exactly where we stopped in February; the same clubs reached the penultimate phase and the draw was the same.
