History
Beside Mykola Kmit, the initiative to create the club came also from the member of the Board of directors of IDS Group, Vsevolod Bilas, and the president of the Georgian FC Gagra, Beso Chikhradze.
In 2004-2009 the club was competing in the Ukrainian Youth Football League as a youth football club FC Morshyn. At same time another club FC Hazovyk-Skala Stryi represented the neighboring city of Stryi in the Ukrainian First League. In 2006 Hazovyk-Skala was reorganized as FC Lviv and moved to Lviv. In 2009 FC Morshyn entered the professional ranks with their first game played as a friendly against FC Lviv.[2] During the 2009–10 winter break it renamed itself to FC Skala Morshyn, while playing in Stryi.[3]
On 10 February 2011 the club was renamed again to FC Skala Stryi due to the fact that it was playing in Stryi.[4]
On 19 June 2018, the club's president Mykola Kmyt announced that his club will withdraw from competition if the club will not find new owners.[5] Several days before the club's general director Luis Esmi commented information about withdrawal of Skala Stryi.[6] He explained that the club requested clarification from the Football Federation of Ukraine (FFU) on situation about fixed matches and information regarding punishment for the guilty. The federation was accusing the club in match fixing. Esmi confirmed that the club released all its players. He also stated that the club will certainly withdraw if the federation would establish that our players were involved in match fixing and will think whether or not participate if other clubs were involved but no one would get punished.
On 14 June 2018, the club expressed its intentions to merge its football academy with the academy of FC Volyn Lutsk.[7]
