history

Soviet Union

Dynamo Kiev was founded in November 1927 by Sergei Barminsky and Nikolai Channikow. The club's first registered game was on July 17, 1929 against Dynamo Odessa (2-2). In 1936 Dynamo was a founding member of the all-Soviet league, the club remained as one of only two teams, alongside Dynamo Moscow , since 1936 - with the exception of the interruption of the game during the Great Patriotic War - always in the highest Soviet league and is never in relegated to the 2nd division.

Under the German occupation of Kiev, the so-called death game allegedly took place on August 9, 1942 . A selection of Ukrainian players, including eight players from Dynamo Kiev, played against a flak eleven of the German Wehrmacht and won the game 5-3. A week later, eight of the Ukrainian players were arrested by the Gestapo , and one of them is said to have died in prison. The remaining seven are said to have been taken to the Syrez concentration camp , where three of them were shot. The incidents have not been fully clarified (see death eleven ), but the game still occupies a central place in Dynamo's history; Among other things, there are three sculptures in front of the stadium to commemorate it.

In 1954 Dynamo Kiev became the first non-Moscow team to win the Soviet Football Cup. The first championship title followed in the 1961 season. From 1966 to 1968, three more titles in the Soviet league followed in a row.

Former star Valery Lobanovskyi returned to his club as a coach in 1974 and was responsible for two other championships in 1974 and 1978. In addition, the club won the first European Cup for a Soviet team in 1975 , in the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup , Ferencvárosi TC was beaten 3-0. In the subsequent duel for the European Supercup , Dynamo prevailed against FC Bayern Munich .

In the 1980s, four more championships followed, three national cups and another triumph in the Cup Winners' Cup in 1986, when the Spanish representative Atlético Madrid was clearly defeated 3-0 in the final in Lyon in front of 50,000 spectators after an outstanding performance .

Dynamo Kiev has won thirteen championships and is one of the most successful and well-known football clubs in the former Soviet Union . Dynamo Kiev also provided numerous players on the Soviet national team. The high point were the years 1986–1988: First, at the Soccer World Cup in Mexico in 1986 , nine dynamo players shot the USSR to a 6-0 victory over Hungary ; two years later at the European Football Championship in Germany in 1988 , the team around Oleksandr Sawarow and Vasili Raz only failed in the final against the Netherlands . Even today Dynamo Kiev is one of the few Eastern European football clubs that can boast supraregional fame and popularity.

In the all-time league table of the Soviet league, Dynamo Kiev is second behind Spartak Moscow with 2306 goals scored and 681 games won .

Ukraine

In 1992 , after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the subsequent independence of Ukraine, Dynamo Kiev was one of the founding members of the Ukrainian Vyshscha Liha and is one of the two teams, alongside Shakhtar Donetsk , who have never been relegated from the Ukrainian elite class. In the first edition of the Ukrainian championship, Dynamo took second place when in the play-off, which took place in Lviv on neutral ground, the team of Tavrija Simferopol was defeated 0-1, but won the following nine championships in a row. In addition to the returning star coach Valerij Lobanowskyj, the brilliant strikers Serhij Rebrow and Andrij Shevchenko were responsible for this series of successes. In 1998, the team from Kiev made it to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League , the following year they even reached the semi-finals. Dynamo Kiev was also the top scorer of the UEFA Champions League in the 1998/99 season with Andrij Shevchenko and 1999/00 with Serhiy Rebrow.

While the two top strikers left the club for abroad, Valerij Lobanowskyj died in 2002. His assistant Oleksij Mychajlytschenko took over the post of head coach, but could not prevent Dynamo's hegemony from Shakhtar Donetsk being ended. Dynamo Kiev only won two championship titles in 2003 and 2004. The team was able to repeat these successes in 2007 and 2009. Also in 2009, the team under Russian coach Yuri Sjomin made it to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, but lost to their national rivals from Donetsk. The newly signed Russian head coach Valery Gassayev was unable to prevent the Kiev club from finishing bottom of the group in the 2009/10 UEFA Champions League.

In the 2012/13 season , Dynamo Kiev made it into the group stage of the UEFA Champions League . In the play-off round, after a 3-1 first leg win at German representative Borussia Mönchengladbach, a 1-2 home defeat in the second leg was enough . In the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, the team fought third behind Paris Saint-Germain and FC Porto and ahead of Dinamo Zagreb and continued to play in the 2012/13 UEFA Europa League , where they lost to Girondins Bordeaux in the round of 32 . In the same season, Dynamo Kiev had to let both their permanent rivals from Donetsk and Metalist Kharkiv overtake in the Premjer-Liha and finished in a disappointing third place.

After the success against FK Aqtöbe in the playoff round, Dynamo reached the group stage of the Europa League 2013/14. They finished second in their group and qualified for the knockout round, where they met Valencia CF. Due to the unrest in Kiev , the first leg on Cyprus took place in Nicosia and was lost 2-0. After the subsequent draw in Valencia, Dynamo had to retire from the rest of the competition. Because of the team's disappointing performance in the Premjer-Liha 2013/14 , Oleh Blochin was dismissed as head coach during the current season . Nevertheless, at the end of the season, Dynamo only reached fourth place in the table, which is the worst placement in the club's history.

In the 2014/15 season Dynamo returned to the top of the Ukraine, with two game days to go they secured the first championship in 6 years and the fourteenth overall.

The club's most famous players include Oleh Blochin ( European Footballer of the Year 1975 ), Igor Belanov ( European Footballer of the Year 1986 ), Andrij Shevchenko ( European Footballer of the Year 2004 ) and Oleksandr Schowkowskyj .
