The team existed as early as 1938 when it first played at the top tier of the Ukrainian Football Championship placing 8th among 12 teams. Before the
World War II the
Ukrainian Football Championship was a tier-structured republican level competition two levels below the 2 tiers All-Union Football League. Following the
World War II, Dynamo Kyiv continued to field its second squad in the
Football Championship of the Ukrainian SSR, but under name
Dynamo Kyiv for at least four seasons yet, to differentiate it from the team of masters, it was referred to as Dynamo-klubnaya. In 1965, there was created the second team of
FC Dynamo Kyiv and replaced FC Temp Kyiv (that represented the
Kyiv Aircraft Factory). It only competed for one season in the Ukrainian Class B football competitions of the
Soviet Union. In 1992, Dynamo-2 Kyiv was revived based on its double (reserve team, Dynamo-d Kyiv) which played in competition for reserves teams of the
Soviet Top League. The new team was admitted to the
1992 Ukrainian First League. In 2004, when there was created a separate competition for reserve teams of the
Ukrainian Premier League, the team was preserved and continued to compete at a professional level in regular league competitions until 2016. The team participated regularly in the
Ukrainian First League, since it cannot be promoted to the
Ukrainian Premier League, being a reserve team from the
FC Dynamo Kyiv franchise. Like most tributary teams, the best players are sent up to the senior team, meanwhile developing other players for further call-ups. ==Honors==
