Quick overview

The team was previously called FC Metalurh Mariupol. FC Metalurh Mariupol changed its name to Illichivets during the winter break of the 2002–2003 season. Before that, Azovets Mariupol had changed its name to Metalurh during the winter break of the 1995–1996 season reestablishing itself as a Footaball Club. The team, Azovets, was established in 1960 after the reformation of the Avanhard Zhdanov team (now Mariupol) when another team, Shakhtar Rutchenkove was incorporated. The Avanhard, in its turn, had been established in 1936.

Illichivets were relegated to Ukrainian First League in the 2006–07 season after finishing 15th (out of 16). However, they returned to the Ukrainian Premier League the following season after finishing as champions in the 2007–08 Ukrainian First League.
