Rebuilt to Win
We are kicking off the 2026/2027 season in the Higher League of Ukraine! Our long-term vision is clear: through strategic squad development and institutional growth, we aim to qualify for European competitions by 2030.
Founded in 2015 in Mariupol by footballers Karina Kulakovska (now Head Coach) and Yana Vynokurova (President), our club was completely displaced by the full-scale war in 2022. Refusing to give up, we rebuilt the team in Kyiv entirely from scratch.
