history

The FC Hoverla-Zakarpattya Uzhhorod was founded in 1946 under the name Spartak Uschhorod in the city of the same name, which now has a little over a hundred thousand inhabitants and is the capital of the Zakarpattia Oblast in western Ukraine . Before that, there was already an association in the city, the SC Rus , which was dissolved at the beginning of the Second World War and the attack of the German Empire on the Soviet Union . In today's emblem of Hoverla-Zakarpattya Uzhgorod, reference is made to the founding date of SC Rus. Whether today's Hoverla-Zakarpattya Uzhgorod emerged from SC Rus is still not entirely clear. After the war, the club was initially known as Spartak Uzhhorod, until 1961 the name was changed to Verhovyna Uzhhorod , ten years later to Hoverla Uzhhorod . The club kept the name Hoverla Uzhhorod until 1982, when it was renamed Zakarpattya Uzhhorod . From 1996 to 1998 it was called Verhovyna Uschhorod again , then until 2011 Zakarpattya Uschhorod and since 2011 the club has been called FC Hoverla-Zakarpattya Uschhorod , a combination of two previous club names.

During the times of the Soviet Union, Hoverla-Zakarpattya Uzhhorod hardly appeared at all, and there were no major successes. Only with the dissolution of the USSR and the establishment of the Ukraine as an independent state did the association begin to make a name for itself. From 1992 to 1998 they first played in the second Ukrainian league before relegation to the Druha Liha. There they were immediately promoted again and they were able to establish themselves in the second division in the following season. After thirteenth place in the 1999/2000 season, Zakarpattya Uzhhorod took second place in the Perscha Liha in the 2000/01 season , only behind the second team from Dynamo Kiev , which was not allowed to rise, so Zakarpattya Uzhhorod made the first jump in the highest Ukrainian league, the Premjer-Liha , succeeded. As bottom of the table you had to relegate immediately to the Perscha Liha. After the direct resurgence failed in the 2001/02 season, this was achieved in 2002/03 by a first rank ahead of Metalist Kharkiv . However, this time the relegation followed immediately. Something similar happened in the following years up to 2010. Zakarpattya Uzhhorod developed into a so-called elevator team and commuted between Premjer-Liha and Perscha-Liha, mostly on an annual basis. After relegation from the first division in the 2009/10 season , the 2010/11 resurgence was missed and the club played - since summer 2011 with a new name - in the Perscha Liha. In the 2011/12 season, the club succeeded by winning the championship in the Perscha Liha the renewed promotion to the highest Ukrainian league.

Due to the 15th and penultimate place in the table in the 2012/13 season , FC Hoverla-Zakarpattya Uschhorod rose to the Perscha Liha after only one year of first class . Since the seventh-placed Krywbas Krywyj Rih withdrew from the Premjer-Liha due to financial difficulties and the runner-up of the Perscha Liha Stal Alchevsk was not admitted to the top division, FC Hoverla-Zakarpattya Uzhhorod will also play in the Premjer-Liha in the 2013/14 season . Liha on.
