His professional career Dykyi started out in FC Karpaty Lviv in 1979. It was the season when Karpaty led by Ishtvan Sekech won the Soviet First League and were promoted to premiers.[2] Around that time Dykyi was invited to the Soviet Union youth team and participated in the 1979 Friendship Games (international annual multi-sport games among socialist countries) – 5 games, 1 goal as well as the 1980 UEFA Youth (U-18) tournament (Soviet Union was eliminated by Yugoslavia) – 2 games.

In mid 1980s Dykyi hoped couple of teams before ending up in FC Volyn Lutsk, with which he stayed until 1996 and playing almost 300 matches at professional level.
