Biskup participated in the 1991–92 Soviet Cup when Nyva beat FC Ararat Yerevan and Biskup scored a goal[2] (an equalizer).[3] After that game, Nyva did not go to the next match in Yerevan due to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict as Ararat has forfeited it.[2][4] The decision of not traveling to the Caucasus region was taken after the away game against PFC Spartak Nalchik (1991 Soviet Second League) which Nyva lost, but Nyva's players were threatened with physical "influence".[2]

Ihor Biskup has a son Andriy who also played football as a defender at lower Ukrainian leagues including FC Nyva Ternopil.
