From the first matches to legendary status
1908 - in the then Stanislaviv (now Ivano-Frankivsk) a group of enthusiasts founded the city's first football club, named Revera. It comes from the Latin expression "re vera", which means "true", "what is real". According to legend, these words were often repeated by the nobleman Stanislav Pototsky, known as Revera, whose name is closely connected with the history of the city.
Revera" became Stanislaviv's first football team and one of the first in all of Galicia, which was then part of Austria-Hungary. Unlike many other clubs of that time, "Revera" was not tied to a specific ethnic group representatives of various nationalities performed in its composition.
