History
The football club was created 1992 under the name Zmina. The team changed its name to Zmina-Obolon in 1993 due to the fact that it was located in the historical locality near Kiev. Later Zmina was dropped leaving only with Obolon in 1995, and Obolon PPO in 1997. It adopted its current name on 23 April 2001. In 1995 it received professional status and entered the Ukrainian Second League for the 1995–96 season.
After finishing 3rd in the Ukrainian First League 2001–02 season, Obolon was promoted to the Ukrainian Premier League when that competition expanded to 16 teams for the 2002–03 season. Obolon was relegated to the Ukrainian First League after finishing 15th (out of 16) in the 2004–05 season. Until 2002 Obolon played its home games at Zmina Stadium and sometimes at the sport complex of Bilshovyk factory.
In the 2008–09 season, Obolon finished second in the Ukrainian First League and were promoted to the Ukrainian Premier League for the 2009–10 season.
