Football Club Skala 1911 Stryi (Ukrainian: «Скала 1911» Стрий) is a Ukrainian professional football team. The team is based in Stryi.
The club traces its history to times of the Austria-Hungary just before the World War I, when in Stryi was formed the first Ukrainian football team as part of the local Sich sports society. The same society which contributed to formation of the Sich Riflemen. After the World War I, when territories of the Western Ukraine were part of the Second Polish Republic, Skala reappeared again competing at regional competitions. The team remained at regional level following the World War II when the region was annexed by the Soviet Union.
It was not until Ukraine gained full independence, when FC Skala gained a professional status in 1992 and was admitted in Ukrainian football competitions replacing another team from Kamianka-Buzka. Skala failed to retain its professional status and there were several instances when the club was revived. The last revival occurred in 2020 and in 2023 the club was admitted to the professional competitions as Skala 1911 Stryi.
