1949 Soviet First League

January 2012 1949 Vtoraya Gruppa Spartak Tbilisi 1948 1950 The 1949 Vtoraya Gruppa of the Soviet football championship was the 10th season of the second tier football competitions in the Soviet Union. FC Spartak Tbilisi won the championship. The competition format remained very much the same, however some reorganization took place. There were still 6 groups, however 4 were allotted for the Russian SFSR, one remained after the Ukrainian SSR and only one group was designated for the other union republics. Number of participants once again was increased from 75 to 84. For the first time, in the competitions appeared a second squad which was part of the Stalin's son club VVS Moscow. For the 1950 season it was decided to reduce number of participants and the tiers of the Soviet Football Championship were renamed Class A (Top League) and Class B (Lower League).
