About FC Olimpik Donetsk

FC Olimpik Donetsk was a Ukrainian football club from Donetsk, founded in 2001. Its home was the small Sports Complex Olimpik in Donetsk, which holds about 3,000 spectators.

Olimpik climbed through the professional leagues and reached the Ukrainian Premier League in 2014, just as the war in Donbas began. Because of the conflict it never played a top-flight match in Donetsk and spent its Premier League years in Kyiv, with brief plans to move to Sumy or Cherkasy that came to nothing.

The club's best season was 2016–17, when it finished fifth and qualified for the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League. In the third qualifying round it drew 1–1 with PAOK in Kyiv but lost the return leg 2–0 in Thessaloniki. Olimpik stopped playing in 2022 after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
