For the next 7 seasons, they were not active in official tournaments. In 1976, the club joined the Soviet Second League, to play in its Zone 7, and in 1981, they won the championship . In 1990, the team recorded a 10–0 victory over Bulat, which remains the club's biggest victory on record. In the 1991 season, the last year of Soviet League existence, the club won Zone 8 Championship.[1]
Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the club joined the newly formed Kazakhstan Premier League. In 1994, Aktyubinets reached Kazakhstan Cup final, which they lost to Vostok with a score of 0–1. In 1996, the club changed name to Aktobemunai.
