Football Club Uzhhorod is a Ukrainian professional football club from Uzhhorod previously competing in the regional competitions of Zakarpattia Oblast and Ukrainian amateur competitions. Reactivated in 2024, FC Uzhhorod was reestablished on FC FCI Uzhhorod.
History
The club was founded in 2015. It is the third attempt to create a city football team in post Soviet Ukraine in Uzhhorod.
The first time it was made in 1995 by Mykola Sydor, but the team only existed for a single season. In 2011, the second city team was active for couple of seasons on initiative of the president of the Uzhhorod city football federation Viktor Kachur.
Due to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the club withdrew from professional competitions in 2022.
In 2024 the club was readmitted to the Second League, merging prior to that with another regional-level club FC "Family of Christ International (FCI)" Uzhhorod. While being denied the application to the professional competitions, the club's administration managed to successfully appeal the PFL decision.
The club's colors are blue and white, symbolizing the rich cultural heritage of Uzhhorod and its picturesque surroundings. FC Uzhhorod competes in the lower divisions of Ukrainian football, with aspirations to climb the ranks and make a mark in the higher leagues. The team's playing style is characterized by a blend of technical skill and tactical discipline, reflecting the dedication of its coaching staff and players.
In addition to its on-field pursuits, FC Uzhhorod is deeply involved in community initiatives, fostering youth development programs and engaging with fans to promote soccer at all levels. With a strong foundation and a vision for the future, FC Uzhhorod aims to become a prominent name in Ukrainian football, inspiring the next generation of players and fans alike.
