History

The club was founded in 1920 under the name Sudostroitel (Sudnobudivnyk) Mykolaiv. It is the oldest continuously playing club in the country that competes on the professional level.

Throughout the Soviet times and until the 1990s, it mostly played under the name of Sudnobudivnyk meaning Shipbuilder associated with the Black Sea Shipyard.

MFC Mykolaiv took part in the first Ukrainian Premier League season in 1992 under the name FC Evis Mykolaiv, after being initially chosen to participate for being one of the top 9 (of 11) Ukrainian teams from the West Division of the Soviet Second League 1991. The club is one of the holders of the unfortunate distinction as being the team to be demoted three times from the Ukrainian Premier League.

MFС Mykolaiv's best achievement in the Ukrainian Premier League was 13th place (in 1994–95). From 1994, the club was known as SC Mykolaiv, FC Mykolaiv since 2000, and MFC Mykolaiv since 2006.

MFC Mykolaiv became insolvent and ceased to exist after the City Administration of Mykolaiv informed the PFL that the team would not be competing in the 2008/09 Persha Liha season. The team then requested re-admittance to the PFL, but it was too late as the calendar was already set up. The PFL allowed the club to compete in the Druha Liha, but only in the next season. The administration of the Dynamo Kyiv extended its helping hand by withdrawing its junior team Dynamo-3 Kyiv from the Second League and, thus, for Mykolaiv to be placed instead of it.

MFC Mykolaiv reached 1st place in Druha Liha group A in 2010–11 season and was promoted to Persha Liha.

Colours are blue and white hooped shirts, white shorts.
