FC Desna-2 Chernihiv (Ukrainian: ФК "Десна-2" Чернігів) is the under-21 reserve squad of Ukrainian football club Desna Chernihiv from the city of Chernihiv.[1]

History

[edit]

FC Desna-2 entered the professional leagues for the first time in 2008. With the recent successes and improvement the senior team has had, the club entered the Ukrainian Second League to give their players more exposure to higher quality competition. Desna-2 had been competing in the Chernihivska Oblast competition.[2]

Due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, on 11 March 2022, the training ground Chernihiv Stadium was badly damaged by a Russian airstrike.[3] The club was dissolved along with the senior team, Desna-3 Chernihiv and the Desna Chernihiv Academy.

Stadium and facilities

[edit]

The team plays in the Olympic Sports Training Center Chernihiv (formerly Stadion Yuri Gagarin). The stadium, located in Chernihiv, was built in 1936 for 3,000 spectators. Recently the team has been transferred to play in the new modern Chernihiv Arena, which belongs to professional club FC Chernihiv, playing in the Ukrainian Second League.[4][5]

Crest

[edit]

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.[6][7]
