The first known performances of the Crimean national team date back to September 1923, when the peninsula national team took part in the First All-Ukrainian Spartakiad in Kharkiv (in some later sources this tournament is called Ukrainian SSR Championship 1923) In their first match, the semifinals of group 2 (1/8 finals of the general tournament), the Crimeans beat the team Yekaterinoslav 2–1, in the next game (the finals of their group or 1/4 finals of the tournament) lost to the team Druzhkivka 0–2.[1][2] The details of the matches and the composition of the Crimean national team did not survive.
