Historical studies of the origins and early histories of different sport disciplines on the national turf have always been topical, particularly in the theoretical and educational aspects. Objective of the study was to give an account of the football origin and evolution in the Crimea in the early XX century. Applied for the study purposes were the Crimean and imperial periodicals of that time, archive materials, research publications, reference literature and the Internet data. The archives and study reports show fast progress of the Crimean football in the early XX century in many cities, with football activists forming amateur teams and running first matches of municipal and even regional teams. The Sevastopol-based amateur football group of enthusiasts was among the founders of the Russian Football Union, with the Crimean teams ranked among the national football leaders and competing in the top imperial events at that time. The study data and analyses give the reasons to conclude that the Crimean football was an indispensable part of the Russian football movement in its origins.

Keywords: football, history, early XX century, Sevastopol.
