History
editThe club was founded in 2015.[1] It is the third attempt to create a city football team in post Soviet Ukraine in Uzhhorod.
The first time it was made in 1995 by Mykola Sydor, but the team only existed for a single season.[2] In 2011, the second city team was active for couple of seasons on initiative of the president of the Uzhhorod city football federation Viktor Kachur.[2][3]
Due to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the club withdrew from professional competitions in 2022.
In 2024 the club was readmitted to the Second League, merging prior to that with another regional-level club FC "Family of Christ International (FCI)" Uzhhorod. While being denied the application to the professional competitions, the club's administration managed to successfully appeal the PFL decision.[4][5][6]
