 FC Dynamo Kiev is a professional football club from the Ukrainian capital, Kiev (Kiev). (Ukrainian: ФК Динамо Київ, FK Dynamo Kiev; Russian: Динамо Киев, Dinamo Kiev) founded in 1927 as an amateur team, part of Dinamo, a nation-wide Soviet sport society. HistoryDuring the Soviet era, the club was one of the main rivals, and oftentimes the only rival, to the football clubs from Moscow. Its ability to challenge the dominance of the Moscow clubs in Soviet soccer, and frequently defeat them to win the Soviet championship, was a matter of national pride for Ukraine. Leaders of the Ukrainian SSR unofficially regarded the club as their national team and provided it with generous support. Thus, Dinamo became a de-facto professional team of international importance. AchievementsDynamo Kiev have participated in all the USSR and Ukrainian championships, and won both more times than any other team. The club's best perfomances were in the 1970s and 1980s, it was at this time that the USSR national football team was mostly comprised of players from the club. Dinamo Kiev won the Cup Winners' Cup in 1975 and 1986 as well as the European Super Cup in 1975, after two games against Bayern Munich. In 1999, the club reached the semifinals of UEFA Champions League. These victories are associated with the name of Valeriy Lobanovs'kyi - whom played for the club in the 1960s and later became the club's long-term head coach, he was also the coach of the USSR national football team in various championships. He died in 2002 after a heart attack that occurred during a game.
