FC Sevastopol (Russian: ФК "СКЧФ Севастополь") is a Crimean football team based in Sevastopol.

In 2014–2016 it was known as FC SCChF Sevastopol.[1]

History

It was founded in 2014, following the Russian annexation of Crimea. Ukrainian Premier League club FC Sevastopol was liquidated and a new team was organized instead, registered according to the laws of Russia. It then was licensed to participate in the third-tier Russian Professional Football League in the 2014–15 season. As Ukraine considers Crimea Ukrainian territory, Football Federation of Ukraine lodged a complaint with UEFA about Crimean clubs' participation in Russian competitions. On 22 August 2014, UEFA decided "that any football matches played by Crimean clubs organised under the auspices of the Russian Football Union will not be recognised by UEFA until further notice".[2]

On 4 December 2014, UEFA banned Crimean clubs from participating in Russian professional competitions,[3] and announced that a new local Crimean Premier League will be set up in the future that UEFA will manage directly.[4]

It has the same name as the historical team SKCF Sevastopol which participated in the Soviet Union football competitions. "SKChF" stands for "Sportivny Klub Chernomorskogo Flota" (Russian: Спортивный Клуб Черноморского Флота; "Sport Club of the Black Sea Fleet").
