FC Odesa was a professional Ukrainian football club based in Odesa. The club plays in blue-white colors. The club originally was called Dnister and played in Ovidiopol but after the 2010–11 season the club moved to Odesa.^[1]

History

The first football team in Ovidiopol was established in 1947. There was an amateur team, called "Dzerzhinets", which played in the local competitions of the Odesa Oblast and Ukraine. Amateur Ovidiopol team became Odesa Oblast champions in 1980. Professional football club was created in 1992 based on the amateur team – shortly after Soviet Union breakup in 1991. In 1998, the team played in the amateur Ukrainian championship and won it in 1999.^[2] Since 2001 Dnister has played in the professional leagues of Ukrainian football. In 2008 the new ownership of the club was announcing about its plans to build a new stadium for Dnister.^[3]

During the 2010–11 season Dniester started playing their home games in Odesa due to the unsafe state of their stadium (Viktor Dukov) in Ovidiopol.^[4] With the inability to secure finances to repair the stadium the club opted to move their head office to Odesa after the season.^[5][6]

Previous emblem before 2008

The club was relegated from Ukrainian First League after the 2012–13 season after losing a promotion/relegation playoff to Nyva Ternopil.^[7] The club withdrew from the PFL prior to the 2013–14 season.^[8]
