FC Obolon-Brovar Kyiv is a Ukrainian professional football club based in Kiev (Obolon Raion). Its home colors are green shirts and white shorts; while its away uniforms displayed white shirts and green shorts. Its main sponsor was the brewery Obolon since 1999.

The club was reformed in 2013 due to administrative issues and hence the team withdrew from the Professional Football League of Ukraine during the 2012–13 Ukrainian First League season in February 2013.[2] The club restarted from amateur competitions.

History

The football club was created in 1992 based on the specialized sports school of Olympic Reserve Zmina in Kiev.[3] The team changed its name to Zmina-Obolon in 1993 because it was located in the historical neighborhood in Kiev. The same year as Zmina-Obolon, the club participated in the national amateur competitions KFK at first placing third and next year winning a group competitions. After its promotion to professionals, the name portion Zmina was dropped leaving only with Obolon in 1995, and later changed to Obolon PPO in 1997.[3] It adopted its current name on 23 April 2001.[3] In 1995, it received professional status and entered the Ukrainian Second League for the 1995–96 season.

After finishing 3rd in the Ukrainian First League 2001–02 season, Obolon was promoted to the Ukrainian Premier League when that competition expanded to 16 teams for the 2002–03 season. Obolon was relegated to the Ukrainian First League after finishing 15th (out of 16) in the 2004–05 season. Until 2002 Obolon played its home games at Zmina Stadium and sometimes at the sport complex of Bilshovyk factory.[3]

In the 2008–09 season, Obolon finished second in the Ukrainian First League and were promoted to the Ukrainian Premier League for the 2009–10 season for the second time.

The club competed in the Premier League for three seasons and was relegated after the 2011–12 Ukrainian Premier League season.

On 21 February 2013 the club withdrew voluntary from the Ukrainian First League.[4] Major club sponsor Slobodyan had refused to finance the club after goalkeeper Kostyantyn Makhnovskyi was sold by the club without his consent.[2]

In December 2012 the president of Obolon, Oleksandr Slobodian, announced he would create a new team under the moniker Obolon-Brovar ("Obolon Brewery").[5] In spring 2013 the team applied to PFL and was accepted for the 2013–14 Ukrainian Second League season.[6]

In early March 2013 it was announced that the former honorary president of Obolon Kyiv, Oleksandr Slobodian would form a new football team called Obolon Brovar. Legally the team could not keep the old name and had to register a new name.[7] FC Obolon as a public organization with Obolon brewery as its title sponsor was reorganized into a limited liability company of Obolon brewery and completely owned by the last. During the organization many first team players left, but infrastructure with its academy and stadium were preserved.

Learning about a new club, the fans of Obolon immediately appealed to the new leadership of Obolon-Brovar with a request to leave the symbols and logos of the old club. Also they asked not to put on the club emblem the year the club was founded.[7]

Only the doctors, administrators, massage therapists and reserve team coach Obolon-2 Kyiv Oleg Mazurenko moved from the former club to the new club. Also some players from Obolon-2 Kyiv and experienced defenders Andriy Kornyev and Valeriy Ivaschenko, who once played for Obolon Kyiv. All the rest were alumni from the Youth Academy Zmina-Obolon. Serhiy Soldatov was appointed head coach of the new team, who worked previously in the Youth Academy which was based with the team "Obolon Brovar".[7]
