History

Traceable evidence of football in Volyn Oblast takes its roots from the Polish Wołyń District League that was liquidated during the World War II in 1939. The best city's team Policejski Klub Sportowy (PKS) Lutsk competed along with other clubs of the region with many clubs of the today's neighboring Rivne Oblast. Before establishing of FC Volyn, the best clubs of the region were Dynamo Lutsk (1940-1956) and army club GDO (Garrison Officers' Club, 1957-1959). Both clubs competed at Republican competitions that until 1959 were considered to be amateur.

Soviet period

In the beginning of 1960 in connection with expanding of the second tier (2nd) of the Soviet football (Soviet Class B) to Lutsk city was granted a place among "teams of masters". Since the strongest team of the city and region GDO Lutsk was part of the Armed Forces society, it was decided to create absolutely new team under auspices of the regional organization of the Volunteer Sports Society "Avanhard". Its actual name the team received on April 3, 1960 when it was time to apply for the competitions. According to one of the players of that time Mykhailo Kuzmin, at the gathering of players and the team's staff it was debated for long time what name the team will have.[3] Among variations there were "Dynamo" (as the leading regional team in 1946–1956) or more patriotic "Styr" until one of the players did not say "Volyn"... After a brief pause, everyone caused a noise and unanimously determined that it is what needed to be.

Its opening match Volyn played in Kirovohrad (today

Avanhard Chernivtsi 2:1. The first goal at home was scored by Viktor Pyasetskyi.[3]
Its first season Volyn finished 13th among 17 teams, while throughout the season being among the best 10 teams with misfortunes at the final rounds moved the team to the bottom of the table. The next two seasons for Volyn were disastrous, twice in the row the team was placing dead last. In 1963 there were some reforms in the Soviet football and Class B was downgraded to third tier. It was the season when the Volyn's crisis was ending and it rose to 17th place out of 20 teams. But during the relegation play-off matches of that season against the regional champion, the Lutsk team lost to the Volodymyr team "Zenit" 0:1 and 3:3. Nonetheless, it was "Volyn" that the regional leadership decided to keep in class "B".

In the following, the team's results improved, but its weakness was instability. A great start to the 1964 season was marred by continuous failures in the second half. The Volhynians demonstrated a rather bright game in 1966, when they were among the leading five for 30 rounds. But again - a series of defeats and goalless draws pushed the team down to 12th place, although it was mere 4 points away from the same fifth place. In the following seasons, the team performed with disruptions, jumping from twelfth to nineteenth place in the table.

In 1968, the club was placed under the care of a new "sponsor" - Mashzavod (later - Lutsk Automobile Plant, LuAZ) and renamed Torpedo. The last season in class "B" was the best for the team. At the winter pre-season preparations in Transcarpathia, "Torpedo" won the "Podsnezhnik" Cup of the Ukrainian SSR Football Federation, which was quite prestigious at the time. And in the 1970 championship, the team confidently held zonal competitions and finished in second place. There was not enough strength for the final and the Lutsk team fell to the 8th place in the table. The 1970 season was the last season for Class B competition which for that season was considered to be at the fourth tier.

In 1971, Class "B" was disbanded, and its best teams were included in the newly created

"Horyn" Rivne. According to the regulations, both teams were supposed to leave the Second League, but the Football Federation of the Ukrainian SSR, taking into account the loss of master teams in two adjacent regions of Western Ukraine, decided to leave the teams of both cities in the Second League. However, in 1972, on the basis of the team out of the city of Lutsk, a team of masters of the Carpathian Military District was formed and SC Lutsk was established based on SKA Lviv
.

In 1977 the club was revived as Torpedo and re-entered the Soviet third division and until 1980 remained at the bottom of the league's table. Although, for example, in 1979, "Torpedo" had quite a good first half, constantly being in the top ten. But a single victory in 23 matches of the second half pushed the Torpedo team to the bottom again. Another surge took place in 1981, when head coach Vyacheslav Pershin by attracting talented youth and experienced veterans to the team managed to create a true fighting collective. From 20th place in 1980, "Torpedo" rose to 8th place. The highlight of the season were two victories over "Kolos" Poltava - 5:0 each in Lutsk and Poltava.

In the following seasons, "Torpedo" moved into the category of strong middling teams and constantly finished in the middle of the tournament table. The team was equipped with a backbone of experienced players, the seasonal rotation of the team decreased, etc. In 1986, managed by

SKA Kyiv and "Torpedo" - both teams had an equal number of points. Unfortunately, the Lutsk team conceded 0:2 and finished fifth, because "Nyva" Ternopil also passed Lutsk. In the same year, "Torpedo" received the "Mark of Quality" (Znak Yakosti) prize for teams of the Second League, which was awarded to the team that trained the most players for the teams of the First and Top leagues and gathered the most spectators. Taking into account the fact that during the season only Oleh Fedyukov, Oleh Benko and Vasyl Storchak joined the Top League from the Lutsk team, winning this prize became natural. The 1987 season was marked by the team reaching the 1/16 finals of the Soviet Cup, where the Torpedo team lost to CSKA Moscow 0:1 and 0:0. Unsuccessful performances in the championship led to the resignation of Myron Markevich, and in his place came another coach of the team - Vitaliy Kvartsyanyi
, who raised the team from 16th to 8th place.

Taking into account the political and economic changes in the life of the country, on January 30, 1989, at a meeting of public organizations of the city, a self-supporting (

Mykhailo Burch
had to be released on the field as a field player. Therefore, the Volhynians could not compete on an equal footing with their rivals and settled for second place.

The gold medals of the 1989 Champions of Ukraine were awarded to: goalkeepers -

.

Ukrainian period

After the championship season, there was a certain decline, however, Volyn finished the 1991 season in 8th place in the Western Buffer Group of the Second League. This made it possible to enter the first national championship of Ukraine as a team of Vyshcha Liha. The first season turned out to be successful for Volyn - 5th place in the group. Although during the season the team was among the leaders for some time. However, in the summer, the head coach of "Volyn" Myron Markevych left the team without warning and went to Lviv, taking with him two key players - Plotko and Topchiyev. The financial and organizational problems that began at that time in most Ukrainian clubs also affected Volyn. During the third and fourth championships of Ukraine, the team performed well, twice taking 11th place in the table, and twice reaching the quarterfinals of the Cup of Ukraine.

The team was "pulled" by experienced veterans, and there was no young replacement worthy of them. So when Antonyuk, Polnyi, Fedetskyi, Burch were unable to play, the team went into decline. After a series of bleak matches at the beginning of the

Persha Liha
).

Its former player Anatoliy Radenko was called to elevate the team in class. And at first he succeeded. In the 1996–97 season, a 90% changed team, in which many young players appeared, showed a super game. After the first half, the Lutsk players secured second place. But financial problems remained unresolved - key players had to be sold. As a result, in the second half, the "Luchans" could not stand the competition with more powerful rivals and settled for fourth place.

Hopes rested on the next season. But after four rounds,

Druha Liha
).

In this difficult moment, a well-known businessman who became the new president of the club -

CSKA-2 Kyiv
- 7:0 in the last match. And in the 2001–02 championship, Vitaliy Kvartsyanyi led "Volyn" to gold medals for the second time.

Even before the start of the season, experts noted "Volyn" as one of the main contenders for entry to the top league, because the team gathered many qualified and experienced players. And so it happened - the team passed the season in one breath. One hundred percent result was recorded in home matches. And from September 20, 2001 to April 8, 2002, the team went on a 13-game winning streak. With seven rounds to go, the players of Luchan secured a place in the top league, and in three - they ahead of time became champions. Volyn striker Vasyl Sachko became the top scorer of the league with 17 goals.

The gold medals of the Champions of the 2001–02 Ukrainian First League were awarded to: goalkeepers - Yuriy Nikitenko, Roman Nesterenko; defenders - Oleh Fedyukov, Yuriy Kondakov, Vitaliy Rozghon, Lyubomyr Halchuk, Yaroslav Komzyuk; midfielders - Volodymyr Hashchyn, Yuriy Dudnyk, Serhiy Honcharenko, Andriy Pisniy, Volodymyr Hapon, Dmytro Topchiyev, Oleksandr Aharin; attackers - Vasyl Sachko, Serhiy Kryvyi, Oleksandr Hrebenozhko, Volodymyr Lutsenko, Viktor Matsyuk, Serhiy Hordun, Vadym Solodkyi, Oleksandr Stolyarchuk. Club president - Vasyl Stolyar, head coach - Vitaliy Kvartsyanyi, coach - Petro Kushlyk.

The 2002–03 season also turned out to be successful - "Volyn" performed impressively for a newcomer. There twice was beaten 2:0 and 3:1 the champion - Shakhtar Donetsk, the Volyn team defeated the new champion - Dynamo Kyiv 1:0 at home, and the team reached the semi-finals of the Cup of Ukraine. The sixth place was a reward for such successes. But things went badly in the future - in the championship of 2003–04 during the first eight rounds, the Luchans did not win a single victory. The team managed to leave the relegation zone at the end of the first half at the cost of superpowers... However, the high-quality additional staffing of "Volyn" in the off-season allowed the team to feel confident in the second half and solve the main task - a berth place in the top league was preserved. The next championship was ambiguous for "Volyn" - starting from the start of the season, the Luchans entered the struggle for a place in the "UEFA competitions qualification zone", but in the middle of the second half, the team suffered a decline - draws were followed by defeats, and in the end - only eighth place, although during the 25 rounds, the Volyn team confidently stayed in the top four. The 2005–06 season also followed a similar scenario. Despite some instability, "Volyn" came in third place at the finish of the first half. However, the catastrophic situation with the club's finances led to the outflow of the "core" players and a slow fall to the bottom of the tournament table. Something happened that no one believed in - after the last round, the Luchans had to part with the elite division of Ukrainian football.

In the

Persha Liha
, and also received the title of the best player of the League by the PFL.

Before the start of the 2009–10 championship, the club management hinted that the team was ready to finally compete for promotion. In the off-season, "Volyn" carried out a solid personnel reinforcement and from the first rounds joined the fight to enter the Ukrainian Premier League. At the same time, the Volyn players performed quite successfully in the Ukrainian Cup competitions, defeating "Kryvbas" and "Metalurh" from Zaporizhia, and reached the semi-finals of the National Cup. The team had to fight on "two fronts" and went to the winter break with a noticeable lag behind the leading three. However, the spring part of the season, despite the defeat in the cup semi-final, turned out to be more than successful for "Volyn". Defeating opponents at home and away, having won eleven consecutive victories at the finish line, "Volyn" eliminated more than a ten-point gap from first place and only by coincidence finished second and returned to the elite of Ukrainian football.

The first season after returning to the Premier League became unsettling for "Volyn". The team started very badly. During the summer and the beginning of autumn, the team had a very hard time gaining points, but in October-November it "discharged" so much that at the beginning of December everyone was praying for the end of each match, because a little more and "Volyn" had a chance to break into the top five teams of the Ukrainian Premier League. But the spring part of the 2010–11 championship was a failure, and in 11 matches, the Luchans took only 7 points. As a result - 11th place at the end of the season.

The start of the 2011–12 season was remembered for the victory of Luchans over "Dnipro" on the road - 2:1 and confident performances in August. Later, the team slowed down and further things in the championship did not stick together again, but in the Ukrainian Cup "Volyn" once again made a great "run": at the Round of 32, there was completely defeated "Illichivets" - 7:1, and in the Round of 16 - "Dnipro" - 3:2, considering that Luchans were losing 0:2 and remained with ten players after goalkeeper Vitaliy Nedilko was sent off in the middle of the first half. In January 2012, "Volyn" unexpectedly received a new head coach - Anatoliy Demyanenko. However, the new coach failed to achieve anything significant. Only Maicon, the striker of "Volyn" - became the top scorer of the 2011–12 Ukrainian Premier League with 14 goals, and the team once again did not pass the semi-final stage of the Ukrainian Cup. The following season was a year of disappointments, and when "Volyn" was on the verge of relegation from the Premier League, Vitaliy Kvartsyanyi was again invited to the helm of the team, who successfully coped with the task of keeping the team's place in the league.

After his return, Kvartsyanyi had to create a new team - the composition of "Volyn" changed by 80-90%. However, the team spent the first half of the season very decently, as it drew with "Dynamo" in Kyiv (1:1), victory over "Shakhtar" (2:0) and drew with "Chornomorets" in Odessa (0:0). But the youth of the new team showed itself and the game of "Volyn" was not stable. The second part of the 2013–14 championship, which was postponed for 2 weeks due to the political situation in the country and the

Russian aggression against Ukraine
, was more of a failure. After scoring seven points in the first three matches of spring 2014 (including a 1:0 victory over "Karpaty" in Lviv), the team of Luchans lost eight matches in a row.

In the 2014–15 season, "Volyn" entered with newcomers loaned from "Dnipro" - Kobakhidze, Politylo, Polyovyi. After the first round, experienced Shust and Sharpar joined the team. This is how the main composition of the team gradually crystallized, which gained good momentum at the end of the first and second stages of the tournament distance. "Volyn" did very well in November-December 2014 and May 2015. Almost until the end of the tournament distance, the team fought for 5-6 places in the tournament table, which could not be achieved due to purely organizational problems, more precisely - financial ones. "Volyn" had 38 goals scored in the season, a victory in the Ukrainian Cup over the finalist of the Europa League "Dnipro" (1:0), a draw with "Shakhtar" at home (0:0), six matches in which the team managed to score three and more goals and an individual victory of Eric Bicfalvi, who, finishing his performances for Volyn, became the top scorer of the championship together with Shakhtar player Alex Teixeira (17 goals).

Team names
