TheSports club "Metalurh Zaporizhzhia" (Ukrainian:Спортивний клуб «Металу́рг» Запорі́жжя,IPA:[metɐˈlurɦzɐpoˈr⁽ʲ⁾iʒːɐ]) is a Ukrainian professionalfootball club based inZaporizhzhia. Reestablished in 2017, it is a "phoenix club" of the original Soviet factory "team of masters" Metalurh that existed in 1935–2016 of the Soviet metallurgical giantZaporizhstal.
The original club holds several historical records of Soviet football, particularly while participating in theSoviet second tier (in 1971–1991 known as the First League). The club has spent the highest number of seasons in the Soviet second tier, as well as earned the highest number of tournament points. The club is also a three-time champion of the Ukrainian republican competitions. Just before thedissolution of the Soviet Union, the team of masters Metalurh Zaporizhia was transformed into a commercialfootball club.
In 2017, the city of Zaporizhia administration reestablished the football club as Miskyi Football Club Metalurh Zaporizhia. In December 2024, the organization designation was changed to a sports club at the decision of the city council.[1]
The history of Metalurg began in 1935 when a steel production company,Zaporizhstal, formed thefootball club 'Stal'. By the end of the year a local sports union gave Stal the status of a main club in the region. Throughout the 1930s, the team appeared regularly in domestic competitions and often played against clubs from theSoviet Top League, the most notable of which wasSpartak Moscow. The tough times of World War II soon followed, however, bringing decline to both Zaporizhstal and its team. Nonetheless, in 1946 the club was revived and in 1949, Stal won the cup inZaporizhzhia Oblast.
In October 1949, the team was renamed to 'Metalurg'. In 1950, Metalurg debuts in theUSSR Cup and in the round of 64 they defeatedLokomotivPetrozavodsk with the score of 5–0, but go out in the next stage, losing 2–3 to TorpedoStalingrad. However, the very next year the club went to the Round of 16, notably defeatingDinamo Minsk 1–0 andLokomotiv Moscow 4–0 on the way. In 1953, the club debuted in theUSSR Championship after becoming the champion ofUkrainian SSR in 1952. From 1953 to 1962, Metalurg played in the USSR Championship Class 'B'.
In 1963, Metalurg secured a place in the USSR Championship division 'A' and achieved some moderate success. They stayed there until 1971, when in the 1970 season the club secured a position in Class 'A' and a place in theUSSR First League. In their first season, they came in fourth place, which became the club's highest achievement in the USSR Championships.
In 1991 after the collapse of theSoviet Union, Ukraine became independent andUkrainian Premier League was formed. Metalurh was among the founders of the League. The club has remained in theVyshcha Liga for all 16 seasons with their highest achievement in the1995–96 season, taking 5th place. The club's best performance in a domestic cup came in 2006, when Metalurh reached the final, there they met withDynamo Kyiv and were beaten 2 goals to none, however this performance allowed them to enter theUEFA Cup next season. Zaporizhstal still remains as a largest club sponsor and actively finances most of club's expenses.
The club had always been in the top league, since the first season in 1992 until the 2010–11 season when they finished last position and were relegated to theUkrainian First League. After one season in theUkrainian First League the club was promoted back to the Ukrainian Premier League.[2] During the2015–16 season on 2 March 2016, Metalurh was recognized as bankrupt on decision of the commercial court of Zaporizhzhia Oblast and a liquidation procedure was initiated.[3]
Throughout its history inUkrainian Premier League, Metalurh has entered theUEFA Cup on two occasions; the first in2002–03 UEFA Cup after finishing fourth in the league the previous season. In the qualifying round they beatMaltese sideBirkirkara 3–0 on aggregate, before losing 2–1 to English sideLeeds United in the first round.
The second time club had to wait 4 years to qualify again. After finishing as runners-up in theUkrainian Cup in 2006, Metalurh secured a place in the2006–07 UEFA Cup. The club entered the competition in the second qualifying round, Metalurh defeatedMoldavian sideZimbru Chișinău 3–0 over two legs. However, Metalurh went out in the first stage, losing toGreek clubPanathinaikos.
FC Rosso Nero was created in 2009 by Andriy Bohatchenko who owns a pizzeria with the same name inZaporizhzhia. The first two seasons the club played infutsal (indoor football). In 2011, the club won the Zaporizhzhia city Cup and thebeach football city league. In 2012, Rosso Nero were runners-up at 8x8 football (variant ofassociation football popular in Russia). In 2014, the club became a city champions by beating the defending city champions Motor Zaporizhzhia. The victory inspired Rosso Nero to apply for the Second League of national competitions. In fall of 2015, when Metalurh Zaporizhzhia started the process for liquidation, Rosso Nero offered to pass the legendary club to them,[4] however no agreement was reached.
On 26 March 2016, in Zaporizhzhia held a meeting of non-governmental organization "Metalurh forever", at which it was decided to rename the "FC Rosso Nero" into "FC Metalurh". At the same meeting, the group adopted symbols and colors of the original club "Metalurh".[5][6] During the 2016–17 season the club was under suspicion from the FFU fair play committee.[7]
The club was denied in receiving certificate for the next season and was dissolved in June 2018.[8] The Metalurh—Rosso Nero performance was terrible. It played 65 games at professional level (3rd tier) winning 9, tying 3 and losing 53 games. Its goal tallies was 49 goals scored while allowing 237 (-188). The Metalurh—Rosso Nero also took part inUkrainian Cup where it was eliminated at its earliest rounds on both occasions.
On 6 August 2017, a new city football clubMFC Metalurh Zaporizhzhia (Ukrainian:міський футбольний клуб "Металург" (Запоріжжя)) started its participation in the2017–18 Ukrainian Football Amateur League with an away game against Yarud at Azovets Stadium inMariupol.[9] In the media, it was sometimes called the municipal club rather than the city's club. In 2016, the new club was established by the Zaporizhzhia city authorities based on a communal company "Tsentralnyi Stadion" (Central Stadium), which ownsSlavutych Arena.[10][11][12][13][14]
Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the club remained a member of the Ukrainian top tier until 2015, competing on a couple of occasions in European club competitions as Ukraine's representative.
In 2015, the original club went bankrupt, and in 2016, theUkrainian Premier League finally removed it from its competitions. In 2016, it was announced that another amateur club fromZaporizhzhia (FC Rosso-Nero Zaporizhzhia) had officially changed its name to FC Metalurh Zaporizhzhia and intends to start participation at theUkrainian Amateur Football League the same year.[15]
In 2018, the Rosso-Nero's Metalurh was denied a license for professional league competitions, while the city-sponsored club was admitted to the Second League.
With Metalurh–Rosso Nero already competing, in May 2017, the mayor of Zaporizhzhia decided to form a separate city club, which was formed based on the existing Metalurh sports school of Olympic Reserve. On 31 May 2017, theZaporizhzhia City Council approved the mayor's initiative and created the city's club Metalurh Zaporizhzhia.[16] On proposition of the Rosso-Nero's Metalurh to merge, the newly created club refused.
Youth Sports School of Metalurh Zaporizhya[17]
The youth sports school is located right on the training fields of the main club, where, before the Russian-Ukrainian war, matches of the local championship of other sports schools were regularly held. this is the largest youth sports school in the city of Zaporizhzhia, as well as in the entire region.
Throughout their history, the club has played in various stadiums aroundZaporizhzhia, but in 2001 theFootball Federation of Ukraine forbade Metalurh from playing in their home stadium, Tsentarlnyi Metalurh Stadium, due to security concern and the club was forced to play at theAvto ZAZ Stadium (which formerly belong to now-bankruptTorpedo Zaporizhzhia). Soon after, the club's board approved plans to construct a brand new stadium for the team in place of the old one. Construction commenced in late 2004 and on 29 July 2006,Slavutych Arena was opened, in their first game on a new stadium Metalurh faced Ukrainian giantsDynamo Kyiv. The stadium is situated in a central part of the city, on a street that has been recently renamed after legendary Ukrainian player and coachValery Lobanovsky.
The stadium is purposed for football only use and has a total capacity of 12,000 seats. It consists out of four separate stands, north, south, east and west, two of which are covered by a roof, stadium is equipped with a single, multi-colour screen with dimensions of 6x10m and a lighting system of 1400 lux. The pitch dimensions are 105х68 м. Lately it has often been used as a venue for theUkrainian Premier LeagueFC Zorya Luhansk, while Metalurh is forced to play at its own training base.[18][19] Metalurh Training Base is also known as Velykyi Luh (Great Meadow).
The history of FC Metalurh dates back to a factory team 'Stal' that has been sponsored by one of the largest steel production companies in Ukraine,Zaporizhstal. The company has remained a sponsor of the club for over 70 years and now is a general sponsor of the club. The main partner of the club is OAO Zaporizhstalbud-1.
