Obolon (original)
The football club was created in 1992 by a collective of enthusiasts based on the specialized sports school of Olympic Reserve Zmina in
After finishing 3rd in the
In the
The club competed in the Premier League for three seasons and was relegated after the 2011–12 Ukrainian Premier League season.
At the end of 2012, a conflict arose in club due to a transfer policy of the club. Major club sponsor Slobodyan had refused to finance the club after goalkeeper Kostyantyn Makhnovskyi was sold by the club without his consent.[2] Due to lack of financing, on 21 February 2013, the club was forced to withdraw from the Ukrainian First League.[5]
Obolon Brovar
In December 2012, the president of Obolon, Oleksandr Slobodian, announced he would create a new team under the moniker Obolon-Brovar ("Obolon Brewery").[6] The reorganized club was completely restructured and brought to a complete control of the Obolon factory, unlike its predecessor that was a public organization which was sponsored by the factory.[7] In spring 2013, the team applied to PFL and was accepted for the 2013–14 Ukrainian Second League season.[8]
In early March 2013, it was announced that the former honorary president of Obolon Kyiv, Oleksandr Slobodian would form a new football team called Obolon Brovar. Legally the team could not keep the old name and had to register a new name.[9] FC Obolon as a public organization with Obolon brewery as its title sponsor was reorganized into a limited liability company of Obolon brewery and completely owned by the last. During the organization many first team players left, but infrastructure with its academy, staff and stadium were preserved.
Learning about a new club, the fans of Obolon immediately appealed to the new leadership of Obolon-Brovar with a request to leave the symbols and logos of the old club. Also they asked not to put on the club emblem the year the club was founded.[9]

Obolon (2020 re-renaming)
In August 2020 Obolon-Brovar Kyiv was renamed (again) to Obolon Kyiv.[3] The club's logo was changed accordingly.[3] The 2022-23 season saw Obolon Kyiv get promoted to the Ukrainian Premier League for the 2023-24 season.

The club originally played at its Zmina Stadium.
