PFC Sumy is a professional Ukrainian football team based in the city of Sumy, which now plays in Persha Liha. The current club is the second football project in the city, established in 2008 based on the local Krasnopillya football school. The club's emblem is based on Krasnopillya's as well. The original professional club was established in 1982 as Yavir, renamed as Yarir-Sumy when it relocated to the city in 1998. In 1999, the club was renamed Spartak Sumy. It then got promoted to the Ukrainian First League and played there until the end of the 2006–07 season, after which it folded. The Krasnopillya football school then re-opened the current club.
Since 2009, FC Sumy has played in FC Spartak Sumy's former stadium, the Yuvileiny Stadium. The stadium was completed in 2001, and seats 25,830 spectators. It cost the investors over 50 million euros to construct, making it the most expensive and largest stadium that any Ukrainian Second League club uses.
Brief history
FC Yavir Krasnopillia
FC Sumy's predecessor, FC Yavir Krasnopillia, was established back in 1982 at the Krasnopillia Forestry and competed at regional competitions of Sumy Oblast. In 1991 the club entered the republican amateur competitions. After dissolution of the Soviet Union, the club was admitted to the Ukrainian Transitional League. Yavir Krasnopillia became a champion of the 1994–95 Ukrainian Second League and was promoted to the First League.
After the main team of the Sumy Oblast, FC Ahrotekhservis Sumy, was relegated out of the Second League in 1996, there were talks to revive football in Sumy. On the initiative of the regional government in 1998 Yavir was transferred to the regional center and renamed as Yavir-Sumy. Later it was transformed into FC Spartak Sumy. With that the main city stadium, formerly Spartak Stadium was finally finished and renamed as Yuvileinyi Stadium.
In 2000 Yavir Krasnopillia was revived in its home town and restarted its participation in regional competitions, while Spartak Sumy competed in the First League. In 2002 Yavir again was admitted to the Second League. In 2006 Spartak Sumy went bankrupt and was dissolved. Again there surfaced talks about bringing big football back to Sumy. In 2008 the new Yavir was again moved to Sumy.
FC Sumy
In the fall of 2008 they changed their name once again to FC Sumy. They play in the yellow and green colors of their former stadium Kolos, which can accommodate up to 3,000 spectators. After the 2009–10 Ukrainian Second League season the club again found itself in financial distress and failed attestation, which was followed by their license being withdrawn by the PFL. [1] In July 2010 FC Sumy were readmitted to the Ukrainian Second League – please refer to 2010–11 Ukrainian Second League for details.
The city of Sumy for quite some time used to have its own football teams during the Soviet period, such as Spartak, Frunzenets, and others which eventually were disbanded. The "FC Sumy" football project is another attempt to reestablish the football tradition in the city.
FC Sumy now play in the vastly superior Yuvileiny Stadium which can hold 25,830 spectators.
