History
Initially, FC Shakhtar Shakhtarsk was created in 1984 at the State Production Association "Shakhtarskantratsyt" out of local miners' football teams of Vinnitska Mine and Postnykivska Mine. Until 1989, it competed at regional competitions, and then after changing its name to Prometei, it entered the Ukrainian amateur competitions where competed until 1991. In 1992 the club was admitted to the Ukrainian Transitional League (third division) from which it was relegated after the first season.
