This is an automatically translated description

The history of Ukrainian football began long before the war and the time when Ukraine began to be identified as a state. The book is the first thorough attempt to explore the history of Ukrainian football in Galicia in the first half of the twentieth century (1909-1944). It not only documents the history of matches, but also traces the fate of footballers who were popular in the interwar years, and contains the author's versions and assessments of football events and intrigues of the time.

In the «Appendices» there is a selection of feuilletons, which are perhaps the most original direct illustration (as well as a representation of the then linguistic environment) of pre-war football life in Ukraine.
