The USSR football department of the USSR All-Union Council of Physical Culture adopted a decision about early termination of the season due to the announced mobilization of athletes (sportsmen) to the Workers'-Peasants' Red Army. According to the Russian and Soviet journalist Aksel Vartanyan, the Soviet teams of masters were preserved and competed in the Moscow city football competitions.ФУТБОЛ В ГОДЫ ВОЙНЫ.
