Odesa British Athletic Club (In Russian: «Одесский британский атлетический клуб» ОБАК in short, meaning: Odesian British Athletic Club) was an earlier Imperial Russian athletic club from Odesa, which was established on 1878 by British workers of the Indo-European Telegraph Company who in 1877 moved from Kerch to Odesa.
The city of Odesa was the biggest city of the Imperial Russian South-West (see, Southwestern Krai) and was a municipality (Gradonachalstvo, an Imperial Russian administrative unit of the same level as governorate (gubernia) and oblast).[1] In 1877 to the city from Kerch moved the Indo-European Telegraph Company that employed many Brits (subjects of British Crown).[1] In 1878 they organized the Odesa British Athletic Club (OBAC) which among other sports competitions cultivated the game of association football.[1]
They played at the field located in a neighborhood of Malofontanskaya doroga (Little-fountain Road), not far from a sea shore.[1] For a long time OBAC was composed exclusively out of English only and beside playing between themselves, they conducted annual meetings with footballers of the Romanian city of Galați.[1]
