History

The first football matches in Bukovina and Transcarpathia (Historical Maramures) took place between May and August 1901.

The first football match in Bukovina, which ended with a score of 7–0, took place on May 12, 1901 in Chernivtsi, at the stadium near the Prut River (the current Malva Stadium). The victory was achieved by a team founded by students of Chernivtsi University on the basis of the university's sports gymnastics section (according to some researchers, this team is believed to have become the ancestor of the Yan club). The goals in that historic match were scored by: Y. Topa – 3, T. Spivak – 2, L. Mihajlov and Z. Stern – 1 each.

In the autumn of 1903, German students from Chernivtsi formed their own football team Jahn Czernowitz, which was officially registered and documented as a German sports society and which for many years became the emblematic club of Bukovina football. This football club became the first football club in Bukovina.^[1]

In 1907, in Chernivtsi, the Polish community in the city formed the Sarmatia Czerniowce club (in Polish Sarmatia Czerniowce), then known as "Polonia",

In 1909, Maccabi Czernowitz (in German Sport- und Turnverein Makkabi Czernowitz, in Hebrew transliterated Moadon HaKaduregel Maccabi Tsernowiț) appeared, which became the most successful club in the Bukovina championship with 5 titles. In the same year, the Romanian community founded at the end of 1909 — RFK (Rumanischer Fußballklub) Czernowitz., after 1918 under the name "Dragoș Vodă Cernăuți".^[2]

The Bukovina Championship was held in Chernivtsi between (1907–1914), and then in the interwar period it would bear the name of the Chernivtsi district championship category I (1920–1930), and between 1930–1932 (the last two seasons in the district system) it was called Liga Est - Seria Cernăuți.

With the coming to power of Romania, in 1919 the regional championship of Bukovina was launched, which became an official tournament a year later, in 1920. In the first three years, the national football season system was: "spring-autumn", after which the most traditional for European football associations was applied: "autumn-spring". The first champion title was won by the team "Maccabi" (Cernăuți).

In 1940, the tournament ceased to exist because Bukovina was occupied by Soviet troops. The last champion was Jahn Cernăuți. During the German-Soviet War, Romania occupied Bukovina again and there were attempts to restore championship, but the only club that was revived was "Dragoș Vode" (in the 1942–43 season it participated in the Romanian Cup).^[3]
