History
editThe team was founded in 2017. "Rubikon" debuted in the Ukrainian Second League in the 2020–21 season.[1]
During 2022–23 season winter break it was announced Rubikon Kyiv and OKKO Kharkiv signed an agreement on cooperation[2] and in the second half were planning to field a joint team. As a joint team they took part in the Makarov Tournament (conducted by the Kyiv Oblast Association of Football) and reached finals where they lost to Shturm Ivankiv.[3] However, in the 2023 PFL Winter Cup competed only OKKO and just before the start of the second half, it was announced that Rubikon withdrew, and its players became free agents.[4]
In March 2023 the club withdrew from competitions due to lack of interest from investors.[5]
