1992–93 Ukrainian Football Amateur League
Introduction The '''1992–93 Football championship of Ukraine among amateurs''' was the first season of the nationwide amateur competitions in the independent Ukraine and was known as the football competitions of fitness collectives or KFK for short. The tournament was conducted under auspices of the Football Federation of Ukraine before creation of the Ukrainian Football Amateur Association.Unlike the professional football competitions that started in late February 1992 changing to fall-spring calendar, the amateur competitions started somewhat late due to the same shift in competitions. Beside that factor the format, provided by the Football Federation of Ukrainian SSR, was left unchanged leaving all six groups that were divided by regional principal. There competed total of 82 teams representing all 27 regional football federations.All group winners (six of them) were allowed to enter the transitional league next season.
