Football Federation of Sumshchyna

Football Federation of Sumshchyna is a football governing body in the region of Sumy Oblast, Ukraine. The federation is a member of the Football Federation of Ukraine.

The regional championships and cup competitions are officially conducted since 1952.

The first mentioning of football game on territory of Sumy Oblast is traced to 1916 when the local daily newspaper "Sumskyi Visnyk" (Sumy Herald) on 25 May 1916 published an article about a tournament or collection of exhibition games where local team of Slavia played against some weaker local teams. On 1 June 1916 the same newspaper published an article about another game of Slavia against visiting Feniks from Kharkiv where the local team was victorious 4:3. The article also mentioned that Slavia played against another Kharkiv team in 1915. At that time Sumy Oblast did not exist and its territory was part of Chernigov Governorate and Kharkov Governorate.

There is information that football regional championships were conducted as soon as there was created Sumy Oblast in 1939. However, there is not enough information available about earlier championships.
