Source-derived summary

Football Association of Kyiv (FAK) (Ukrainian: Асоціація футболу міста Києва) is a football governing body in the region of Kyiv city, Ukraine. The association is a collective member of the Ukrainian Association of Football.

The city competitions separate from the Kyiv region started sometimes in mid 1930s with establishment of the city committee in physical culture and sports. However the first recorded official competitions started earlier just before the WWI in 1911 with creation of the Kiev Football League which existed until 1924. Following the disbandment of the Kiev Football League as a "heritage of the Tsarist regime", football competitions were conducted under auspices of regional council of physical culture gubernatorial and, after liquidations of gubernias, okruha (districtal). Due to inconsistency in conducting football competitions, in second half of 1920s they were organized by the Kyiv Trade Union council.

Clubs from Kyiv city sometimes compete in the championship of Kyiv Oblast and vice versa clubs from Kyiv Oblast sometimes compete in the championship of Kyiv city.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Football Association of Kyiv” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Football, Association and Kyiv provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 28, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q4509395. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1911, 1924, 1966 and 1990.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
