FC Lviv

FC Lviv (2006–2012) The club was founded in May 2006. It entered the Persha Liha as a replacement for the bankrupt club FC Hazovyk-Skala Stryi, which also represented Lviv Oblast. The new entity was registered on 22 May 2006 as a company with limited liability () "Football Club "Lviv". Later in May 2006 the PFL Bureau session adopted a decision to recognize the club as a lawful successor () of FC Hazovyk-Skala Stryi that played in Persha Liha. This fact was also confirmed at a press-conference given at the Football Federation of Lviv Oblast on 26 May 2006. The new president of the new club Yuriy Kindzerskyi informed that his club was not created as a municipal club. On 12 July 2012 the sports director of FC Lviv Rostyslav Zaremba confirmed that the club has been withdrawn from competitions due to financial issues. FC Lviv (since 2016) In 2016 the professional team of FC Lviv was renewed and its future participation in Druha Liha was announced. In May 2018, the club was promoted to the Ukrainian Premier League on pretence of merging with NK Veres Rivne and play in the 2018–19 Ukrainian Premier League. At its official website, the club tells that all efforts of NK Veres Rivne are actually efforts of FC Lviv instead. The club states that it was FC Lviv that placed 6th in the 2017–18 Ukrainian Premier League, Records however clearly show that at that time FC Lviv played in the 2017–18 Ukrainian Second League and recovered their professional status only in 2017. This claim is particularly bold as in 2017 NK Veres Rivne, as a "people's club", had a big scandal with its promotion ahead of FC Desna Chernihiv. The archive of Ukrainian Association of Football "Footpass" shows the Premier League club NK Veres Rivne playing at the first preliminary round instead of FC Lviv (please, see Veres – Lviv swap). In 2018 following the swap there was an attempt to replace names in archived teams' performances. At the end of March 2024, the internet website "Ukrainskyi Futbol" interviewed a director of FC Lviv sports school (DYuSSh) due to recent rumors of his intentions to revive a professional team. The website also inquired about details of the professional PFC Lviv that suspended its participation in competitions. Earlier in July 2023, the head of the Association of footballers of Ukraine stated that actions of the PFC Lviv leadership fall under an article about swindle. ==Coaches and administration==
