History

edit

The club was founded as FC Kulykiv in June 2008. In 2011, FC Kulykiv saw its first major success in amateur football, winning the Lviv Oblast Championship and the Lviv Oblast Super Cup and reaching the final of the Lviv Oblast Cup.[2] In 2019, the club came under the ownership of Myron Ostapchuk, who became the club president and restarted the club's participation in the Lviv Oblast Premier League.[3]

In 2023, a nearby amateur football club FC Yunist Verkhnia Bilka (founded in 1970), winner of Lviv Oblast Championship in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022, as well as the Lviv Oblast Cup in 2017 and 2022, decided to merge together with FC Kulykiv. The president of FC Kulykiv, Myron Ostapchak, became the president of the newly merged FC Kulykiv-Bilka, and the president of FC Yunist, Oleksandr Rolko, became the Vice-President.[4] In 2023, the club won the Lviv Oblast Championship. In the 2023-24 season, the club achieved first place in Group 1 of the Ukrainian Amateur Football Championship with 19 wins and 1 draw but lost on away goals in the quarter-finals of the league playoffs to Probiy. Nevertheless, the club still decided to become professional and successfully applied to participate in 2024–25 Ukrainian Second League.
