FC Kalush (Ukrainian:Футбольний клуб «Калуш») was aUkrainian professional football club fromKalush,Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast.
The club was founded soon afterWorld War II asKhimik 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 plantTESP 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 asKhimik entered theDruha Liha. Its main sponsor "Khlorvinil" was reorganized as a state enterprise "Oriana". Later in 1995, Khimik renamed themselves toFC Kalush.
The club struggled at this level of competition. In 2001, "Oriana" and the Russian oil conglomerateLukoil created a joint venture "Lukor". In 2001 the club also renamed themselves toFC 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.[1][2] In the next season the club won theDruha Liha 2002–03 Group A championship. However, at the end of the season the club was bought out by neighboring clubFC Prykarpattya Ivano-Frankivsk and they were subsequently renamed and made into a reserve club.
The club renamed again toFC Spartak-2 Ivano-Frankivsk in 2004 and later in that year they were dissolved.
The club reformed in 2006 and played at theAmateur level.
On 17 January 2014, Lukor Kalush filed for bankruptcy and its liquidation.[3]
After a break of over 10 years the club was readmitted to theProfessional Football League of Ukraine for the2018–19 Ukrainian Second League competition.
