FC Kalush

FC Kalush (Футбольний клуб «Калуш») was a Ukrainian professional football club from Kalush, Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast.

History
The club was founded soon after World War II as Khimik Kalush and in the Soviet competitions competed at regional level and KFK (amateur level). The club was reestablished in place of previously existed Polish club at the chemical plant TESP that also was overtaken by Soviets. Khimik Kalush also was associated with the Soviet chemical and metallurgical association "Khlorvinil" that was expanded in 1961.

At KFK level the club competed until 1995, when as Khimik entered the Druha Liha. Its main sponsor "Khlorvinil" was reorganized as a state enterprise "Oriana". Later in 1995, Khimik renamed themselves to FC Kalush.

The club struggled at this level of competition. In 2001, "Oriana" and the Russian oil conglomerate Lukoil created a joint venture "Lukor". In 2001 the club also renamed themselves to FC LUKOR Kalush and the new sponsorship immediately improved the status of the club. In 2002 Lukor already announced about its financial instability and filed for bankruptcy. In the next season the club won the Druha Liha 2002–03 Group A championship. However, at the end of the season the club was bought out by neighboring club FC Prykarpattya Ivano-Frankivsk and they were subsequently renamed and made into a reserve club.

The club renamed again to FC Spartak-2 Ivano-Frankivsk in 2004 and later in that year they were dissolved.

The club reformed in 2006 and played at the Amateur level.

On 17 January 2014, Lukor Kalush filed for bankruptcy and its liquidation.

After a break of over 10 years the club was readmitted to the Professional Football League of Ukraine for the 2018–19 Ukrainian Second League competition.
