FSC Mariupol (Ukrainian: Футбольний спортивний клуб «Маріуполь») is a Ukrainian professional football club based in the city of Mariupol. The team currently plays in the Ukrainian First League.
The club currently plays its home games near Kyiv in Demydiv (Dinaz Stadium, 2022–23) and Boryspil (Kolos Stadium, 2023–24), due to the destruction and occupation of Mariupol by Russia.
History
[edit]The team was founded in 2007 as Lider. In 2017 the club changed its name to Yarud. It debuted in the Ukrainian Second League in the 2020–21 season, adopting its current name—FSC Mariupol—at the start of the next season as another FC Mariupol was forced to withdraw from competition due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.[1]
In 2023-2024 the club struggled financially and by the start of 2025 it was bought out by an amateur club Feniks Pidmonastyr from Lviv Oblast.
Home stadium
[edit]The club originally was playing at Azovets Stadium located in the city center of Mariupol near the city park. Sometime in 2020 it moved to newer Zakhidnyi Stadium.
Due to the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Yarud was rebranded and moved to Kyiv suburbs Vyshhorod at first and then Boryspil.
Since the second half of the season 2024–25 team uses SKIF Stadium in Lviv as home ground.
