FC Desna Chernihiv is a Ukrainian football club based in Chernihiv.
The original name of the club was "Avanhard" during its first year of existence. Between 1961–70 the club was called Desna. In 1972 it was replaced with SC Chernihiv (team of the SKA Kiev) that played in Chernihiv for the next couple of years. In 1977 Desna was revived now in place of the amateur club "Khimik Cherhihiv" that won regional competitions.
After the completion of the 2009–10 Ukrainian First League the club failed attestation and the PFL withdrew their license.[1] However, the club was reformed with new management as "Sporting Football Club" Desna Chernihiv and was readmitted in the Ukrainian Second League.[2]
On 27 May 2018, the team got promoted to the Ukrainian Premier League for the first time in their history.
The original team colours were blue shirts, blue shorts, blue socks.
History
The team of masters was established in Chernihiv in 1960 under the name "Avanhard" as part of the republican Avanhard sports society and entering competitions of the class "B" competitions (concurrently Football Championship of the Ukrainian SSR).[3] "This year the Chernihiv team "Avanhard" will take part in the state football championship (challenge) among the Class B teams. To its squad were included better footballers of the region. Among them are goalkeeper V.Lomako, field players V.Kravchynskyi, Yu.Shkolnikov, O.Finkelberh, and others", in such way the chairman of regional council of sports societies and organizations V.Tatur informed readers of "Desnyanska Pravda" on 10 February 1960.[4] "The team's coach is appointed a former Dynamo Kyiv player Aleksandr Shchanov. These days "Avanhard" will proceed with its training and in already the nearest future in Chernihiv will start reconstruction and upgrade of the city's stadium. In its construction will take part quite a few city residents, public, youth, and Komsomol activists".[4] Over 26 seasons in the USSR championships, Desna played 1,099 matches, of which 380 won, 301 - tied and 418 - lost. They scored 1145 goals, conceded - 1251.[5]
In 1961 the team received the name "Desna". According to the results of the 1961 season, Desna took the 5th place in its group and the 10th place in the final of the Ukrainian SSR (class "B"). Among all the Ukrainian teams of the championship of the USSR Chernihiv team was the 13th.[3]
In 1965 Desna achieved its highest achievement in the Soviet Union era. Defeating six opponents, including class "A" teams - "Shinnik" and "Neftçi", the team reached the 1/8 finals of the USSR Cup, where they lost to "Kairat" in Almaty with a score 3:4.[6][7] The following season, the team fought for leadership in the first zone of the Ukrainian class "B" - the winners were given the right to fight for securing the second group of the "A" class (later reorganized into the First League). "Desna" skipped forward only Khmelnitsky "Dynamo", and in the overall standings took the 4th place in the championship of the Ukrainian SSR.[7]
In 1968, Desna, taking fourth place in the final tournament of the best Ukrainian teams of the "B" class, won a ticket to the second group of the "A" class.[6] At the end of the 1970 season, the team took 11th place among 22 teams, but at the end of the year the decision of the new head of the Chernihiv region was to disband the club.[8][7] In 1972 the city of Chernihiv was represented by a football team called the "team of Chernihiv city" and later renamed as SC Chernihiv. The team represented the Armed Forces of Kiev Military District and better known as SKA Kiev. The 1976 season was its last season at professional level.
At the same period of time in 1976 "Khimik" Chernihiv, led by the former player of the Desna, Yukhym Shkolnykov, won the Ukrainian SSR championship among the physical culture teams, thus gaining an opportunity to participate at professional level, the Soviet Second League. In 1977 "Desna", the composition of which was formed from the former players of "Khimik" Chernihiv, entered the Soviet Second League. In the 1982 season, the team, placed 2nd in the Ukrainian zone of the Second League, won silver medals of the football championship of the Ukrainian SSR.[6][7]
After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the proclamation of Ukraine's independence, Desna started playing in the Ukrainian First League, but in the season 1993/94 it was relegated to the third tier.[9] Having won the second league group tournament in 1997,[5] the team returned to the First League for two seasons. Since 1999, for seven seasons, Chernihiv footballers performed in the Second League.[9] To return the team to the First League in the championship of 2005/06 mentors Olexandr Tomakh and Yukhym Shkolnykov were managed.[7]
In the 2007/08 season Desna took the 4th place in the First League, which at that time was the best result of the team in the Ukrainian championship.[7] After the end of the 2009/10 season Desna was deprived of professional status due to the fact that it did not pass the certification,[10] but the new authority managed to revive the team and declare it in the Second League.[11]
In the 2012/13 season Desna won the Second League title and rose in the class.[12] Following the results of the championship of 2013/14 the team took the 5th position in the First League. In the Cup of Ukraine the team for the first time in history reached the quarter finals, having beaten "Metalurh" Zaporizhya (1:1, in a penalty shootout - 5:4) on its field. In the match 1/4 finals with the "Shakhtar" "Desna" lost with a score of 0:2.[13][14]
According to the results of the 2016/17 season Desna won the silver medals of the First League and for the first time in history gained the right to compete in the Premier League.[15]
However, on 1 June 2017, it was announced that Desna was denied in receiving license to play in the top division. The argument was that the club is not able to provide guarantees for an adequate financing of infrastructure.[16] The license was received by NK Veres Rivne, the third-placed team during the last season in the second-tier division.[17]
Both clubs FC Desna Chernihiv and NK Veres Rivne did not play at their home stadiums in the 2016–17 Ukrainian First League. The first one played in Kiev at the Obolon Arena, while the other one played in Varash, at the Izotop Stadium of the Rivne Nuclear Power Plant. The administration of Desna released a letter of protest before a meeting of FFU representative.[18] On 2 June 2017, it was announced about the final composition of the clubs and calendar for the upcoming season.[19]
According to the results of the 2017/18 season Desna won the bronze medals of the First League and gained the right to compete in the Premier League through the play-offs against Zirka Kropyvnytskyi.

Crest and colours
Crest
The crest of the club, which was created in early 2008 contained an image of an eagle from the coat of arms of Chernihiv and a sign of Chernihiv prince Mstyslav Volodymyrovych.[20][21]
The modern crest, made in the traditional white and blue colors of the Desna, was presented on July 27, 2016.[22] In the development of the emblem the fans of the team took part.[23] On the shield is a stylized eagle - the main element of the city coat of arms of Chernihiv. The image of the eagle was used as a symbol of Chernihiv princes from the middle of the 10th century. The golden cross, which holds the eagle, symbolizes the importance of Christianity in the history of the city, one of the main spiritual centers of Ukraine. Vertical blue and white stripes on the emblem are based on the form in which the players of the Desna have been playing since 1962. The inscription "Desna" is made in a font that was used on the previous emblems of the club.[24]
There are old crests of the club:
Colours
The historical colors of the Desna are white and blue.[25] In the season of 1961, for the basic set of the form, white and blue colors were used, for the reserve set - green-blue. In a friendly match against the Stockholm Hammarby on October 22, 1961, the players of the Desna appeared on the field wearing red T-shirts and blue shorts.[7]
