Solution

If I understood correctly, you want to populate the select with options with all seasons until now since a specific year?
You could modify a for loop so the years appears in a descending order, and then output the option tag with the "previous year / year" as a value like this:

<div class="season-select-wrapper">
    <?php 
    // Define variables for the select
    $currentYear = 2022;
    $startYear = 1990;
    
    ?>
    <label for="season">Select a season</label>
    <select name="season" id="season">
        <?php for ($year = $currentYear; $year > $startYear; $year--) { $prevYear = $year - 1; ?>
            <option value="<?php echo "{$prevYear}/{$year}"; ?>"><?php echo "{$prevYear}/{$year}"; ?></option>
        <?php } ?>
    </select>
</div>

This would create HTML markup like this:

<div class="season-select-wrapper">
    <label for="season">Select a season</label>
    <select name="season" id="season">
        <option value="2021/2022">2021/2022</option>
        <option value="2020/2021">2020/2021</option>
        <option value="2019/2020">2019/2020</option>
        <option value="2018/2019">2018/2019</option>
        <option value="2017/2018">2017/2018</option>
        <option value="2016/2017">2016/2017</option>
        <option value="2015/2016">2015/2016</option>
        <option value="2014/2015">2014/2015</option>
        <option value="2013/2014">2013/2014</option>
        <option value="2012/2013">2012/2013</option>
        <option value="2011/2012">2011/2012</option>
        <option value="2010/2011">2010/2011</option>
        <option value="2009/2010">2009/2010</option>

        <option value="2006/2007">2006/2007</option>
        <option value="2005/2006">2005/2006</option>
        <option value="2004/2005">2004/2005</option>
        <option value="2003/2004">2003/2004</option>
        <option value="2002/2003">2002/2003</option>

        <option value="1990/1991">1990/1991</option>
    </select>
</div>
