Football Club Skala 1911 Stryi (Ukrainian: «Скала 1911» Стрий) is a Ukrainian professional football team. The team is based in Stryi.

The club traces its history to times of the Austria-Hungary just before the World War I, when in Stryi was formed the first Ukrainian football team as part of the local Sich sports society. The same society which contributed to formation of the Sich Riflemen. After the World War I, when territories of the Western Ukraine were part of the Second Polish Republic, Skala reappeared again competing at regional competitions. The team remained at regional level following the World War II when the region was annexed by the Soviet Union.

It was not until Ukraine gained full independence, when FC Skala gained a professional status in 1992 and was admitted in Ukrainian football competitions replacing another team from Kamianka-Buzka. Skala failed to retain its professional status and there were several instances when the club was revived. The last revival occurred in 2020 and in 2023 the club was admitted to the professional competitions as Skala 1911 Stryi.

History

[edit]

Over the years there were several clubs connected with Skala Stryi starting from 1911.

Club of Austria-Hungary and Poland

[edit]

The first recorded match in Stryi was at times of Austria-Hungary, so called Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria on 29 June 1906 when a team of Stryj gymnasium (high school) lost to a team from Lemberg (Lviv).[1] The next year (1907) in Stryj was established Studencki Klub Sportowy which soon was renamed as KS Pogon Stryj.[1]

Starting from around 1910 there started to appear number of football teams in the city of Stryi: Pogon (Polish), Hakoah (Jewish), Sich (Ukrainian). Sich that was created in 1911 was the predecessor of Skala. The president of Sich became well known Ukrainian composer Ostap Nyzhankivsky. Due to the fact that name Sich can be very politically offensive towards Polish nationals, the name was changed to Skala in 1912 as USC Skala. As a word Skala is an obsolete form of another word Skelia and it is also used in the Russian language. However soon after 1912 the club disappeared. Some players joined the SSC Pogon Stryj, others discontinued to play football. During the World War I there was no sport life in Stryi. During the Ukrainian-Polish War, Poles killed Ostap Nyzhankivsky in 1919.

In 1922 the football team Skala Stryi was revived as a section of the Gymnastic Association Sokil. Sokil was a member of the Ukrainian Sports Union which however refused to cooperate with the Polish authorities therefore the Ukrainian teams were banned from the Polish competitions. In 1925 Skala Stryi became an independent organization and a member of the Ukrainian Sports Union. Starting from 1928 the Ukrainian football clubs started to join the Lviv District Football Union. The first team that joined the union was the Sports Association Ukraine. In 1931 Skala also followed that example. In 1933 however the club left the Lviv District Football Union and returned to the Ukrainian Sports Union. In 1936 Skala once again joined the Polish Football Federation. There was created the new Stanislawow District Football Union and all clubs from Stryi were initially transferred to it. However, due to difficult transportation communications with the rest of the Stanislawow Voivodeship, the city clubs petitioned to stay with the Lviv District Football Union.[citation needed]

Skala Stryi (Karpaty Kamianka-Buzka)

[edit]

The football club Skala was revived in 1989 with some support from public and the Stryi city sports committee headed by Vasyl Kokhanchyk as well as part of the drive for the Ukrainian national revival (so called "National Revival Wave").[2] The first president became Volodymyr Buriy who was assisted by Mykola Zelinsky (associated with FC Medyk Morshyn).[3] In the beginning the newly created club played in competitions of the Lviv Oblast championship.[2]

Following dissolution of the Soviet Union and creation of independent Ukrainian football championship, in 1992 FC Karpaty Kamianka-Buzka, club of the 1991 Soviet Second League B, was admitted to the 1992 Ukrainian First League, but due to difficult financial situation decided to withdraw.[2] The Stryi club played its first game against FC Zakarpattia Uzhhorod hosting it in Stryi and tying the match at 0.[2] The season Skala finished with 31 points tying for the 4th place along with Zakarpattia and FC Ros Bila Tserkva.[2] The club's best scorer in 1992 became Vasyl Kardash with 6 goals.[2]

Hazovyk-Skala Stryi (Hazovyk Komarno)

[edit]

Later in 2001 the city of Stryi received a new team that relocated from Komarno, FC Hazovyk Komarno. The club was reorganized once again when its main football team relocated to Stryi.[4] In 2004 this team under the name of FC Hazovyk-Skala Stryi won the Druha Liha Group A championship and was promoted to the Ukrainian First League. Then the team became financially distressed after the 2005/06 season and was bought by the Ukrainian insurance company "Kniazha". They moved again and now to Lviv changing its name to FC Lviv. [1]
