Current season

FC Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih (Ukrainian: Футбольний Клуб Кривбас Кривий Ріг) is a Ukrainian professional football club based in Kryvyi Rih.

Until 2013 the club participated in professional competitions.[3] In June 2013 the club went bankrupt and was expelled from the Ukrainian Premier League.[3] There was a failed attempt to revive the club in 2014, until finally the club was reestablished again in 2015. In 2020, it was restructured as Football Club Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih based on Hirnyk Kryvyi Rih (founded in 1925), which took on the Football Club Kryvbas's brand. Many people consider the original Football Club Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih (founded in 1959) and the Football Club Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih of 2020 as one and the same club.

## History

[edit]

The club was founded as a "team of masters" of Kryvyi Rih city in 1959. The club was claiming its heritage to football team of Felix Dzerzhynskiy Quarry (Ukrainian: команда рудника імені Дзержинського)[4] that competed at republican level in 1956 and 1957. In 1960 the team of masters of Kryvyi Rih city was admitted to the republican sport society Avanhard and adopted the name of the society, Avanhard Kryvyi Rih. After a couple of years it changed to Hirnyk Kryvyi Rih, before obtaining current its name in 1966. Over the years in the Soviet competitions Kryvbas became a record holder for Ukrainian championship wins tying it at four along with SKA Kiev.

Their best finish was in third place in the 1998–99 and 1999–2000 seasons which made them the only club out of a provincial city that managed to place among the top three best.

At the end of the UPL 2012–2013 season the team finished in 7th place, however, due to financial difficulties the club declared itself bankrupt in June 2013.[3]

In 2013-14 local authorities created the Sport Club Kryvbas that included teams of several sports including football.[5] FC Kryvbas played several friendlies in the spring of 2014.[5] Due to the 2014 pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine, the project was suspended for undefined period.[5] In the summer of 2015 there was created a public organization "Kryvbas maye buty" (Kryvbas has to be) that is involved in a revival of sportive symbol of the city.[5]

In August 2015 FC Kryvbas was allowed to start at the mid-season of the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Championship where it played 11 games winning four and losing five.[5] At finish, the club ended up at the 10th place among 13 participants.[5] In November 2015 it also was applying for the 2016–17 Ukrainian Second League.[6] In 2016 FC Kryvbas started out in the 2016 Ukrainian Football Amateur League.[5] The new club will start out at the Spartak Stadium that was renovated back in 2013 and holds approximately 4,000 seats.[5]
