SK Rusj Uzhhorod

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SK Rusj Uschhorod (Ukrainian: СК Русь Ужгород ) was a Ruthenian football club from Uzhhorod , founded in 1925 , which at that time belonged to Czechoslovakia .

The team playing in blue-yellow won the championship of Eastern Slovakia and Carpathian Ukraine in 1929 and 1931 and the championship of Slovakia and Carpathian Ukraine in 1933. The latter success entitled SK Rusj to participate in the amateur championship of Czechoslovakia in 1933, in which, however, they were eliminated in the first round with 1: 3 and 1: 4 against DFC Prague .

In 1936 the team became Slovak champions and qualified against SK Baťa Zlín (4: 1 and 2: 2), SK Mährisch Schönberg (6: 2 and 6: 2), SK Hradec Králové (1: 0 and 1: 1) and Viktoria Žižkov (1: 2 and 2: 3) for the then professional 1st Czechoslovak League. With only three wins and two draws from 22 games, SK Rusj Uschhorod had to relegate as penultimate in the table. The team traveled to most games by plane , and because nine players were teachers , the team was soon called "The Flying Teachers" (Czech: létající učitelé ).

The average number of spectators in the only first division season was 3,400, the maximum in a game was 7,000.

Rusj's most famous player was goalkeeper Olexa Bokšay (later Alexa Bokšay), who played for Slavia Prague from 1937 and was Czechoslovak national coach in three games in 1949.

After the separation of Carpathian Ukraine from Czechoslovakia at the end of 1938, the SK Rusj dissolved and was not re-established after 1945. The successor is the FC Hoverla-Zakarpattya Uschhorod .
