FC Sumy was a Ukrainian football team based in the city of Sumy, which used to play in the Persha Liha. In April 2019 the Ukrainian Football Federation deprived the club of its professional status.[1]
Previously until 2008 FC Sumy name carried by two clubs as a provisional name. First it appeared in Ukraine in 1995 when FC SBTS Sumy was renamed and in 1996 changed its name again to Ahroservis Sumy folding after the season. In 1998 the Krasnopillia forestry Yavir was relocated to Sumy and at first named as Yavir-Sumy, but already in 1999 it was renamed again as Spartak Sumy. This club in 2002 carried name of FC Sumy after being merged with Frunzenets-Liha-99, but already next year it changed back to Spartak and in 2006 folded.
In 2008 the revived Krasnopillia forestry team Yavir was brought to Sumy again changing its name to FC Sumy. That team competed until 2019 and for its logo used a coat of arms of Sumy Oblast.
