Ukrainian Nationals/Philadelphia Ukrainians

[edit]

The Ukrainian Nationals was an American soccer club based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that was a member of the American Soccer League.

After the Philadelphia Ukrainians was suspended a week into the season, a new Philadelphia franchise, the Ukrainian Nationals, was awarded and took the former Philadelphia Ukrainians' spot in the league.

For the 1964/65 second season, the club joined the "super-league" Eastern Professional Soccer Conference. After the EPSC folded at the end of its only season, the team returned to the ASL.

The club became known as the Philadelphia Ukrainians before the 1968 season.

After the 1970 season, the team moved to the amateur German American Soccer League.

The club completed the "double" in 1961 and 1963, winning the league and the National Challenge Cup. The club also won the league cup (the Lewis Cup) in 1959 and were runners-up in 1958 and 1963.
