Kazakhstan - List of Champions (original) (raw)

In the 1913/14 season the first Kazakhstan football clubs appeared, in Semipalatinsk: SSK, Olimp, Lastochka, Orlyata and FC Yarysh. In Pavlodar, the first clubs were Yastreb and Zvyozdochka, in the 1915/16 season. The first football field in Kazakhstan appeared 1921 in Zhambul. The first official football tournament was held 1928 in Petropavlovsk among provinces of the Kazakh SSR.

Until the break-up of the Soviet Union, the Kazakh championship was played for in a regional league without the presence of the clubs representing the republic at the national levels. In 1980 and 1981, one 3rd level 'Zone' comprised mostly clubs from Kazakhstan but a few from towns outside such as Frunze (now Bishkek); only from the 1982 season on did Kazakhstan have an 'own' 3rd level Zone.
