Ukraina Lwów

Ukraina Lwów (full name: "Sports Society Ukraina Lwów") was an ethnic Ukrainian sports club, located in the city of Lwów, which in the interbellum period belonged to the Second Polish Republic (now Lviv, Ukraine).

The club was founded in 1911 on initiative of professor Iwan Boberski, who had previously been a teacher of physical education in a Ukrainian junior high school in Przemyśl.

Ukraina returned in 1921 and in 1928 it became a member of the Polish Football Association. The team played in Lwow A-Class, which was equivalent of today's second level of football games (see: Lower Level Football Leagues in Interwar Poland). In the 1930s, Ukraina was one of the the strongest football teams in southeastern Poland, its top player, Aleksandr Skocen after World War II went to France and played for OGC Nice (see: List of foreign Ligue 1 players). Altogether, Ukraina played twelve seasons in the Lwow A-Class, three times placing on the second position (1937, 1938 and 1939). Overall, Ukraina got 199 points in 182 games (with two points for a victory and one for a tie), with goal difference 433:351.
