FC Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih
Ukrainian association football club
FC Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih (Ukrainian: Футбольний Клуб Кривбас Кривий Ріг) is a Ukrainian professional football club based in Kryvyi Rih.
Until 2013 the club participated in professional competitions. In June 2013, the club went bankrupt and was expelled from the Ukrainian Premier League. There was a failed attempt to revive the club in 2014, until finally the club was reestablished again in 2015. In 2020, with the efforts of the Kvartal 95 Studio staff members and the Ze! team, it was restructured as Football Club Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih based on Hirnyk Kryvyi Rih (another club), which took on the Football Club Kryvbas's brand. The president of the former Hirnyk, Kostiantyn Karamanits, became the president of the revived Kryvbas.
Many people consider the original Football Club Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih (founded in 1959) and the Football Club Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih of 2020 as the same club.
History
The club was founded as a "team of masters" of Kryvyi Rih city in 1959. The club was claiming its heritage to the football team of Felix Dzerzhynskiy Quarry (Ukrainian: команда рудника імені Дзержинського) that competed at the republican level in 1956 and 1957.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “FC Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih” as ukrainian association football club. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as ukrainian association football club. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q750434. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2020.
Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
