Encyclopedic overview
Football Club Dnipro (Ukrainian: Футбо́льний Клуб «Дніпро́», romanized: [fʊdˈbɔlʲnɪj ˈklub d⁽ʲ⁾n⁽ʲ⁾iˈprɔ] ) was a Ukrainian and Soviet football club based in Dnipro. The club played its last season in the 2018–19 Ukrainian Amateur League. The club was owned by Ukrainian businessman Ihor Kolomoyskyi.
In 2018, FC Dnipro was forced into bankruptcy by FIFA due to multiple legal claims for failing to pay the promised monetary compensation to players and managers. SC Dnipro-1 formerly existed as an unofficial successor.
