History overview

Early history

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 Odessa. 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 Kiev 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

Poster of the return match

The story is often told of how the Dynamo team, playing as "Start, City of Kiev 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", composed of eight players from Dynamo (Nikolai Trusevych, Mikhail Svyridovskiy, Nikolai 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 Germans and their allies. 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 – Nikolai 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 Nikolai 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 Igor 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 Igor 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 Premier 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, winning or being runner-up in every year of the Premier League's existence and becoming a fixture in the UEFA Champions League. Its main rival in Ukraine is Shakhtar Donetsk, a team from the Donbas region, who placed second to Dynamo several times before winning its first Premier League in 2002. The matches between these two sides are called the Ukrainian derby.

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 December 2007 Russian coach Yuri Semin was invited to become the new manager of Dynamo Kiev. 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. In 2009. in the club's most successful European campaign since 1999, it reached the semifinals of UEFA Cup (eliminating such teams as Valencia CF and Paris Saint Germain) but was defeated there by Shakhtar Donetsk losing in Donetsk 1:2 after the 1:1 home draw. However, the club celebrated its 13th Ukrainian Premier League title.

Achievements

Dynamo Kiev 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 Kiev also tied the national record for winning three consecutive Soviet Premier League titles in 1966, 1967, and 1968. Dynamo Kiev 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. In 2009, the club reached the semifinals of UEFA Cup.

Dynamo striker Oleg 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.

Colours

Goalkeeper's kit (Alternate)

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 1961 when a blue sash was briefly added to the kit. Although soon afterwards it was removed, in 2004 the club's management decided to return the famous sash as a talisman. It was added to away kit and has remained there until the beginning if 2008–2009 season. It was replaced by a white kit with shirt having thin blue vertical stripes, for the first time in over 50 years a club has worn such a pattern.

Before the break up of the Soviet Union Dynomo's uniform was similar to Metalist, yellow shirts and blue shorts. That uniform at that time carried a symbolical meaning, representing the national colors of the yet-not-adopted national flag. In that uniform they played in the 1990 final of the Soviet Cup against Lokomotiv Moscow totally destroying the Railway-players at Luzhniki 6:1(!) Recently, in the early years of Ukrainian independence, the club changed their yellow colors for white. However blue remained one of Dynamo's colours and is still a main colour of the club's away kit.

Uniform of 1990

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.

Crest

Dynamo's first logo that was featured on their shirts in 1927 was a signature blue "Д" (D) in a vertical rhombus. Over the years clubs logo has undergone many changes and replacements however the signature D has remained on it ever since.

In 2003 after a Dynamo won their 10th domestic trophy a golden star was added at the top of the logo in order to celebrate club's success. The second star was added to the logo in 2007 during celebrations of Dynamo's 80 year anniversary. Although Dynamo won only 13 Ukrainian league titles, their 13 reigns as USSR Champions were taken into account, which some consider a reply to actions of Dynamo's former top rival Spartak Moscow, who had done the same thing several years beforehand.

Structure

The club's home ground, Lobanovsky Dynamo Stadium, is situated in a picturesque park located in the centre of the city, close to the Dnieper River bank. The stadium holds 16,873 spectators, and has been club's home ever since 1934. When it was built the stadium's capacity was 23,000.[5]. After being destroyed in 1941 during the war, it was rebuilt in 1954. By the end of the century, stadium was reconstructed once more now becoming a football only venue, and having individual seats installed, which reduced the capacity down to its present capacity. In 2002 after a sudden death of Dynamo's long time player and coach Valeriy Lobanovskyi, the stadium was renamed in his honour. After NSK Olympiyskyi was closed for reconstruction in 2008, Dynamo also bagan to play its European games at the Lobanovsky Stadium.

July 2010
