FC Ocean Kerch (Russian: Футбольный клуб «Океан» (Керчь)) is a Ukrainian football team based in Kerch. After the Russian annexation of Crimea was admitted to the Crimean Premier League as a Russian team.

History[]

Metallurg[]

The city association football team in Kerch existed as early as 1938 under a name of Stal. It is not known what happened with the original team.

The current club was established in 1955 as Metallurg (Metalurh) soon after the Crimean peninsula was transferred to Ukraine within the Soviet Union, but it was not until 1962 when it represented the city at professional level, competing in the Ukrainian championship of the Soviet Second League. In 1970, the club dissolved again.

Okean[]

In 1976 it was revived competing all the way pass the dissolution of the Soviet Union. In 1993 it carried a name of Voikovets, in 1994 – Metalurh. In 1995–96 Ukrainian Cup both Metalurh and Okean participated in the tournament. In 1997, the club lost its professional license and disappeared for quite some time.

In 2010, it was reestablished anew.[1][unreliable source?][2] Following the Russian annexation of Crimea, the Football Federation of Ukraine lodged a complaint with UEFA about Crimean clubs' participation in Russian competitions. On 22 August 2014, UEFA decided "that any football matches played by Crimean clubs organised under the auspices of the Russian Football Union will not be recognised by UEFA until further notice".[3]

On 4 December 2014, UEFA banned Crimean clubs from participating in Russian professional competitions,[4] and announced that a new local Crimean Premier League would be set up in the future that UEFA will manage directly.[5] Ocean Kerch was one of the 8 original clubs that formed the Crimean Premier League for the 2015–16 season.
