History

Until 1954, the Crimean championship was part of the Russian football community. There were also republican as well as oblast champions.

Between 1954 and 1991 the regional Crimean champions were members of the Football Federation of Ukraine. In 1992-2014 Crimea as part of Ukraine conducted republican competitions. Since 2014 the status of Crimea is not fully defined.

In December 2016, the first Crimean national football team was presented. Officials of the ConIFA were present during this presentation. This organization's Vice-President Kristof Wenczel said that ConIFA wanted to hold the next ConIFA World Football Cup in Crimea.[1]
