The OAO Futbolny klub “Ural” ( Russian Футбольный клуб “Урал” ), known in German-speaking countries as Ural Yekaterinburg , is a Russian football club from Yekaterinburg in Sverdlovsk Oblast, founded in 1930 . Under its old name Uralmash Sverdlovsk or Yekaterinburg , the club was a Soviet first division club in 1969 and a Russian first division club in 1992-1996 and a semi-finalist in the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 1996 . After a few years in the third division 2nd division , the club played continuously in midfield of the second Russian division since 2005 , until the return to the Premjer division after the 2012/13 season was celebrated.

Soviet championship

The association was founded in 1930 around the Uralmash plant, which was under construction in what was then Sverdlovsk, and was named after it for most of the time. First names were 1930-33 Uralmaschstroj ( Russian Уралмашстрой ), 1933 opening of the plant up to the Second World War Uralmaschsawod ( Russian Уралмашзавод ). In the 1940s / 50s the club was mostly called Awangard (1943, 1947/48, 1953–57, Russian Авангард ), but also Zenit (1944–46, Russian Зенит ), Maschinostroitel (1958/59, Russian Машиностроитель ) and also first time 1949–52 Uralmash ( Russian Уралмаш ). In the first years the club took part in the city championship of Sverdlovsk and became city champions in 1935/36. Immediately after World War II, the club played in the second division of the USSR. When the number of seasons in the league was massively reduced in 1950, the club was excluded but resumed in 1953. In 1962, the club won its second division season, in the subsequent promotion round with the other four season firsts, third place was not enough for promotion to the top Union league. In the 1960s, however, the club reached the quarter-finals of the Soviet Cup twice (1965/66 and 1967/68) and, as champions of the Union-wide 2nd division, was promoted to the top division of the USSR , which was followed by immediate relegation. In the remaining years up to the end of the USSR the club fluctuated between 2nd and 3rd division, only in the last years of the Soviet Union did the club improve again. 1990/91 Uralmash again reached the quarter-finals of the Cup of the USSR and was able to qualify as third of the last season of the second-rate first division of the USSR for the first season of the highest league of the Russian championship.

Russian championship

In the Russian championship, the club was mostly able to stay in the midfield. In the 1992 season , Uralmash striker Yuri Matveyev was the Russian top scorer, but the club suffered badly from the financial difficulties of its owner Uralmash . In 1995 they qualified for the 1996 UEFA Intertoto Cup . But the club lost the core of its team between the 1995 and 1996 seasons. Matveev went to CSKA Moscow , goalkeeper Valeri Gorodow to Fakel Voronezh , and captain and head of defense Alexei Yushov left the club; Nevertheless, the club was able to prevail in the UI Cup against ZSKA Sofia and Racing Strasbourg and failed in the semifinals only due to the away goals rule. In the championship it went worse and the team was relegated in 16th place, followed by immediate relegation from the 1st division to the third-class 2nd division in 1997 . In 2003, Uralmash declared the end of support for the club, which was renamed FK Ural . The club won the Ural relay of the 2nd division several times, but regularly failed due to the license conditions until the team rose to the 1st division in 2004 as one of the relay champions of the 2nd division, where the club has been in the upper midfield since then. The highlight of the years since 2004 was reaching the semi-finals of the Russian Cup 2007/08, where the team failed 1-0 away to Amkar Perm .

In the 2012/13 season, FK Ural was able to celebrate the move into the Premier League on the third last match day after a steady increase. On the penultimate game day, the victory in the FNL was certain. In the 2014/15 season , the club saved itself to 13th place in the table (relegation place). In the relegation, FK Ural met Tom Tomsk and secured relegation with a win and a draw.
