History overview

Early history

Dynamo Kyiv squad in 1929

The club was founded in 1927 as an amateur team, part of Dinamo, a nation-wide Soviet sport society. This society later became officially funded and patronized by the NKVD (a KGB predecessor), and later by the interior ministry (MVD). In the 1950s–1980s, team players were even officially ranked as police or interior armed forces officers. However, thousands of ordinary Soviet citizens paid symbolic membership fees for the "sport society". The first recorded match Dynamo played on 17 July 1928 against another Dynamo from the Ukrainian port city of Odesa. Soon as the club gained more experience and played on a regular basis, it started to fill the stadium with spectators. The club and football popularity in general in Soviet Ukraine was on the rise.

Soviet era

During the Soviet era, the club was one of the main rivals, and often the only rival, to the football clubs from Moscow. Its ability to challenge the dominance of the Moscow clubs in Soviet football, and frequently defeat them to win the Soviet championship, was a matter of national pride for Ukraine. Leaders of the Ukrainian SSR unofficially regarded the club as their national team and provided it with generous support. Thus, Dinamo became a de-facto professional team of international importance.

In 1936 the first Soviet Championship was played, and Dynamo Kyiv was one of the pioneers of the newly formed league. The clubs' early successes were however limited to a 2nd place finish in 1936 and a bronze finish in 1937. In the 1941 season, the club only played 9 matches, as World War II interrupted league play.

The Death Match

Main article: The Death Match
Poster of the return match

The story is often told of how the Dynamo team, playing as "Start, City of Kyiv All-Stars", was executed by a firing squad in the summer of 1942 for defeating an All-Star team from the German armed forces by 5 goals to 1. The actual story, as recounted by Y. Kuznetsov, is considerably more complex. [3] This match has subsequently become known as "The Death Match".

After the Nazi occupation of Ukraine began, several members of the Dynamo team found employment in the city's Bakery No. 3, and had continued to play amateur football. During Kiev's invasion, the collective was spotted by Germans and were invited to play against an army team. The collective would play under the name of "Start" and had comprised of eight players from Dynamo (Mykola Trusevych, Mikhail Svyridovskiy, Mykola Korotkykh, Oleksiy Klimenko, Fedir Tyutchev, Mikhail Putistin, Ivan Kuzmenko, Makar Honcharenko) and three players from Lokomotiv Kiev (Vladimir Balakin, Vasil Sukharev and Mikhail Melnyk).

In July and August 1942 "Start" played a series of matches against German and allied sides. On July 12 a German army team was defeated. A stronger army team was selected for the next match on July 17, which "Start" defeated 6-0. On July 19 "Start" defeated the Hungarian team MSG Wal by 5-1. The Hungarians proposed a return match, held on July 26, but were defeated again 3-2.

"Start"'s streak was noticed and a match was announced for August 6 against a "most powerful" "undefeated" German Luftwaffe Flakelf team, but despite the game being talked up by the newspapers, they failed to report the 5-1 result. On August 9 "Start" played a "friendly" against Flakelf and again defeated them. The team defeated Rukh 8-0 on August 16, and afterwards, some of "Start"'s players were arrested by the Gestapo, tortured – Mykola Korotkykh dying under torture – and sent to the nearby labour camp at Siretz. It is also conjectured that the players were arrested due to the intrigues of Georgy Shvetsov, founder and trainer of the "Rukh" team, as the arrests were made in a couple of days after "Start" defeated "Rukh".[4]

In February 1943, following an attack by anti-German partisans or a conflict of the prisoners and administration, one-third of the prisoners at Siretz were killed in reprisal, including Ivan Kuzmenko, Oleksey Klymenko, and the goalkeeper Mykola Trusevich. Three of the other players, Makar Honcharenko, Fedir Tyutchev and Mikhail Sviridovskiy, who were in a work squad in the city that day, were arrested a few days later[4] or, according to other sources, escaped and hid in the city until it was liberated.

The story inspired two films: the 1961 Hungarian film drama "Két félidő a pokolban" and the 1981 American film Escape to Victory.

Bribery scandal

In 1995, Dynamo qualified for the UEFA Champions League by defeating Danish-side AaB Aalborg in the qualification round.

A few weeks later, following Dynamo's first group stage match against Panathinaikos, which they won 1-0, Spanish referee Antonio López Nieto filed a complaint to UEFA that he and his linesmen had been approached by two officials from Dynamo who offered them two fur coats and an unspecified amount of money. As a result, the club was immediately expelled from the competition, with Aalborg taking its place.

Despite an appeal to the UEFA following the incident, Dynamo Kyiv was banned from UEFA competitions for the subsequent two years and club's officials Hryhoriy Surkis (general manager) and Vasyliy Babiychuk (general secretary) were banned from football for life. These decisions would later be reversed, with Dynamo resuming play in European competitions the following season and Hryhoriy Surkis continuing his work at the club.

Recent years

After the Soviet Union's collapse, the club, now using the Ukrainian name FC Dynamo Kyiv, became a member of the newly-formed Ukrainian football league. Dynamo's status as the country's principal club did not change with the break-up as they went on to dominate domestic competitions. This dominance has recently been challenged by FC Shakhtar Donetsk from the eastern region of Donbass, which has won the national championship four times since 2002, leaving Dynamo in second place in all of those years.

In 1996, the club modified their logo to the one that continues to be used today. In 2007, as a part of club's 80 year anniversary two gold stars were added to the top of the crest, representing ten Ukrainian championship titles and ten USSR champion titles. Due to club's poor performance in the UEFA Champions League during the last two seasons, Dynamo's management resolved to a somewhat unexpected decision; for the first time in club's history a foreign manager was invited. Previously in Dynamo, only former players or Dynamo football academy graduates became managers, but in January 2008 Russian coach Yuri Semin was invited to become the new manager of Dynamo Kyiv. Semin's first success came shortly after in a friendly competition Channel One Cup organised in Israel over winter-break. It went on to confidently defeat both Dynamo's former top rival Spartak Moscow 3:0, and Dynamo's current top rival Shakhtar Donetsk in the final, winning the competition for the first time in its history. However, the club yielded to Shakhtar in Ukrainian Cup and Ukrainian Premier League in 2008.

Achievements

Dynamo Kyiv has participated in all of the USSR and Ukrainian championships to date, and has won both competitions more times than any other team. The club's best performances were in the 1970s and 1980s, a time at which the USSR national football team was comprised mostly of players from the club. Dynamo Kyiv also tied the national record for winning three consecutive Soviet Premier League titles in 1966, 1967, and 1968. Dynamo Kyiv won the Cup Winners' Cup in 1975 and 1986 as well as the European Super Cup in 1975, after two games against Bayern Munich. In 1977, 1987, and 1999, the club reached the semifinals of UEFA Champions League. These victories are associated with the name of Valeri Lobanovsky, who played for the club in the 1960s and later became the club's long-term head coach.

Dynamo striker Oleh Blokhin is the Soviet Premier League's all-time top scorer with 211 goals, and has also made more appearances than any other player in the championship's history with 432.

Goalkeeper's kit

Dynamo's traditional colours are white and dark blue, with white being the predominant colour. Throughout their history the club has usually played in a white shirt and blue shorts, until 1975 when a blue sash was added to the kit. That season became the most successful in Dynamo's history when the club won the Domestic Championship, the UEFA Cup Winners Cup and the UEFA Super Cup. Although soon afterwards it was removed, in 2004 the club's management decided to return the famous sash as a talisman. It has remained on the kit ever since and was even added to the club's away kit.

Recently, in the early years of Ukrainian independence, the club changed their blue shorts for white. However blue remained one of Dynamo's colours and is still a main colour of the club's away kit.

The club's current sponsors, Adidas and Ukrainian bank Privat Bank, are identified on the team jersey, the former also being the manufacturer of the kit.
