FC Luzhany

FC Luzhany (Ukrainian: ФК «Лужани») is a Ukrainian football club from Luzhany, Chernivtsi Oblast.

Brief overview

FC Luzhany is a successor of some other Luzhany football teams that existed at least since after World War II in 1947 as Kolhospnyk Luzhany.[1]

It was not until 1975 when Kolos Luzhany became a champion of Chernivtsi Oblast.[1]

Since 2000s the Luzhany football team for quite some time competed at Ukrainian national championship and Ukrainian Cup competition among amateur teams.[1]

Luzhany became better known in 2008[1][2] when a coach of Bukovyna Chernivtsi football academy Yuriy Kraft had led the team to championship title among amateur teams.[1] Following this success, FC Luzhany obtained an opportunity to compete at the Ukrainian Second League and UEFA Regions' Cup.[1]

Due to renovations of a stadium in Luzhany, in 2008 FC Luzhany played its games at Malva Stadium in Chernivtsi.[1]

Among the most notable players of the club are Ruslan Hunchak who became a top scorer of the 2010-11 Ukrainian First League and Vadym Zayats who soon after he retired in 2010-2013 was a head coach of FC Bukovyna Chernivtsi.
