Overview
Looking back throughout the history, in the city existed several football clubs that preceded current club. After the World War II in 1945 in Mukacheve were formed three football teams "Spartak" (represented a local tobacco factory), "Bilshovyk" (brewery), and "Dynamo" (law enforcement and border guards).[2] On 13 May 1945 the local newspaper "Zakarpatska Pravda" was reporting its readers that the local Mukacheve Dynamo had hosted "Spartak-URSO" from Uzhhorod and beat it with a big score 10:1.[2] Sometime a week later the same Dynamo Mukacheve beat Dynamo Berehove at home 5:2.[2] Soon the chairman of the People's Council of Transcarpathian Ukraine Ivan Turyanytsia received an official invitation to send an athletic team of Zakarpattia of about 150 athletes to the Ukrainian Spartakiad that had been scheduled to take place 23 August to 6 September 1945.[2]
In 1947 all three football teams were merged into one and named as Bilshovyk Mukacheve.[3]
In Soviet competitions it participated rarely and with extensive pauses: 1948, 1949, 1968–1970, 1990. Based out of Mukacheve, Zakarpattia took part in the Ukrainian First League from its first championship in 1992. They were later sent down to Druha Liha after the 1996–97 season, and in couple of years folded.
