Sport Club Poltava (Ukrainian: Спортивний клуб «Полтава») is a professional Ukrainian football club from the city of Poltava. The club is currently playing in the Ukrainian Premier League, the top tier of Ukrainian football, after promotion from the Ukrainian First League in 2025.

History

[edit]

The team was founded in 2011 by two football enthusiasts, a veteran of FC Vorskla Poltava Volodymyr Sysenko and a local journalist Stanislav Maizus. The first team was based on students out of schools of the Poltava's Levada neighborhood.[1] Before 2014, it played in regional competitions of Poltava Oblast, remaining in the shadow of FC Poltava, which at that time competed at the Ukrainian Second League. SC Poltava played its home games at the FC Poltava training base in Kopyly. In 2014 SC Poltava became a champion of Poltava Oblast, but ceased its existence due to lack of funding. It was the first title for Poltava-based teams at competitions in Poltava Oblast in 19 years.[1] In 2014 several professional footballers played for the club, including Yuriy Fomenko and Ruslan Solyanyk.[1]

In 2019, Sysenko and Maizus managed to invite construction company owner Serhiy Ivashchenko who became the club's president, providing necessary funding.[2] In 2019–20 SC Poltava entered the AAFU cup competitions and in 2020–21 debuted at the AAFU championship. The club was placed 5th within its group in its first national season. SC Poltava was admitted to the Professional Football League of Ukraine and entered the 2021–22 Ukrainian Second League competition. In 2024–25, SC Poltava secured promotion to the Ukrainian Premier League for the first time in their history.
