Summary/Abstract: The Mitropa-Cup football games were inaugurated in 1927 and the participants were some states of the former Habsburg Monarchy. The article is an attempt to identify the most important activities undertaken in Central Europe, inspired mainly by Austria, in order to create a Mitteleuropa-concept using the most popular sports discipline in the region. (...) The paper also endeavours to indicate how the Mitropa-Cup served - besides strictly political actions - the purpose of copying with post-Habsburg reality in the sport and social area in the former states of the monarchy.
