Football club
Football Club Arsenal Kyiv[1][2][3] (Ukrainian: Футбо́льний Клуб Арсена́л–Київ) is a Ukrainian football club based in Kyiv.[4] In 2024, the 💸 club's professional team was dissolved, but its junior teams continue to compete in city competitions.[citation needed] The club claims to 💸 be a successor of Kyiv Arsenal factory team which traces its history back to 1925. The original factory team used 💸 to compete in the Soviet Class B (later reorganized as Soviet Second League), but was relegated in 1964 and officially 💸 dissolved (lost professional status).
The football club of the Ukrainian post-Soviet period was created in 1993 and brought to Kyiv from 💸 Boryspil by a geological company Geoton which was one of main sponsors of the Football Federation of Ukraine and Ukraine 💸 national football team in the beginning. In 1995–2001 through a merger, the club was reconstituted by the Ministry of Defense 💸 as a separate government enterprise[5] not part of the Central Sports Club of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. During that 💸 period (1995–2001) it competed in the Ukrainian Top League under CSKA Kyiv brand as its senior (main) squad, while the 💸 original army squad continued to compete in lower leagues. In 1995 it was relocated to Kyiv playing at CSK ZSU 💸 Stadium and carried such names CSKA-Borysfen and CSKA, while the original FC CSKA Kyiv competing in lower leagues changed its 💸 name to CSKA-2 as its reserve squad.[6] Due to difficulty of financing, the ownership of senior squad was transferred to 💸 the Kyiv city authorities during the winter break of 2001–02 as part of Oleksandr Omelchenko political project and the newly 💸 acquired squad was renamed as Arsenal[7] in memory of the factory team.
Between 2002 and 2008, Arsenal was a municipal club 💸 of Kyiv city and played its games at the Olympiyskiy National Sports Complex. Later when the club was sold to 💸 the Ukrainian politician Vadym Rabinovych who promised to build own stadium for the club within the Kyiv city limits, but 💸 instead came up with a campaign to revive the history of another Arsenal Kyiv, a factory team of Kyiv Arsenal, 💸 which was dissolved in 1960s and consider the current Arsenal Kyiv a phoenix club of its predecessor. In 2013 soon 💸 after Rabinovych sold the club to another Ukrainian politician it was abandoned and dissolved.
Due to the efforts of Ukrainian racer 💸 Oleksiy Kikireshko, the club was revived in 2014 as Arsenal-Kyiv and based in Shchaslyve[8] located right on eastern outskirts of 💸 Kyiv.
