FC Poltava ({{langx |uk|ФК Полтава}}) was a Ukrainian football club based in Poltava in 2007–2018.

History

The club was created by the newly elected mayor of the Poltava city Andriy Matkovsky (2006–2010) who was the club's Honorary President and the main sponsor. FC Poltava entered the professional leagues for the 2007–08 season in the Druha Liha B without playing a single game at amateur level. The first coach of the main team was Oleksandr Omelchuk who previously coached FC Vorskla-2 Poltava. FC Poltava started the season trepidly but in the second half they improved a great deal.

The team's goal was to train players for the teams of the Premier League and First League.[http://fc-poltava.at.ua/index/istorija/0-5 History of the club from the official website] The club also had intentions to reestablish the forgotten Poltava derby that in the Soviet times took place between teams of Kolkhospnyk (today's Vorskla) and Lokomotyv. FC Poltava had an agreement of cooperation with the local Horpynka sports school. In summer of 2010 the club announced of its withdrawal from the professional football due to a biased attitude from the PFL of Ukraine, particularly its refereeing.[http://fc-poltava.at.ua/news/oficialnoe_zajavlenie_fk_poltava_snimaetsja_s_pervenstva/2010-06-10-26 Official announcement: "FC Poltava withdraws from the competition] {{in lang|ru}} After some talks with several state officials and from Ministry of sport a consensus was found.
