FC Mynai (Ukrainian: Футбольний клуб Минай) is a Ukrainian professional football club from Mynai, a suburb of Uzhhorod in Zakarpattia Oblast.

History

[edit]
The Coat of Arms of Mynai features a fox which is also the club's symbol

The club was founded in 2015 by former customs officials in one of the Uzhhorod suburbs Mynai and played at the city and since 2016 – at the regional level.

The club was admitted to the Professional Football League of Ukraine after passing attestation for the 2018–19 Ukrainian Second League season.[3] In their first professional season, Mynai managed to win Group A of the Second League, which earned them promotion to the Ukrainian First League. However, they lost the Ukrainian Second League Championship Game to Group B winners FC Kremin Kremenchuk.

In the 2019-20 Ukrainian First League season, they finished first, earning them promotion to the Ukrainian Premier League.[1] Since the start of the 2020–21 season they play their home matches in the Avanhard Stadium in Uzhhorod.[1] They continued to play in the Ukrainian Premier League, despite finishing last in the 2020–2021 season. Instead Olimpik Donetsk (they had finished 13th in the Premier League) were relegated back to the Persha Liha (Second Ukrainian League).[4] In the 2023–24 season the club did relegate after four seasons in the top flight (finishing second to last).[5] In July 2024 FC Mynai was extremely close to returning straight away to the Ukrainian Premier League.[6] The club took part in a Mini-Tournament play-offs that was created for an open spot in the competition due to the disappearing of SC Dnipro-1.[6] It made it to the final of this tournament, but lost to FC Livyi Bereh Kyiv.[6]
