History
Previous clubs
A football team in Vinnytsia existed before World War II as a local team of Vinnytsia city, which participated in championships among other cities. After the 1936 reorganization of football competition, the team continued to play in lower tiers.
Following World War II, in 1946 football in Vinnytsia was represented by the Spartak society. In 1947, the team played under Dynamo's colors, which for the next several years regularly won regional competitions and made final appearances.
The team's names include "Trud", "Burevisnyk", and City Team.
Lokomotyv → Nyva
In 1958, the current club was established as a Soviet team of the local locomotive factory as Lokomotyv Vinnytsia, which was established on the initiative of the director of Southwestern Railway Petro Kryvonos.
After Ukraine gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, Nyva was selected to play in the inaugural Ukrainian Premier League in 1992, due to being one of the top 9 (of 11) Ukrainian teams from the West Division of the Soviet Second League in 1991.
After being relegated in 1992, Nyva spent the 1993 season in the Ukrainian second division in the First League. Nyva was quickly promoted back to the top level next season after winning the competition.
Nyva Vinnytsia's best achievement in the Ukrainian Premier League was a 10th-place finish in the 1993–94 season. The club also surprisingly made the 1995–96 Ukrainian Cup finals, only to lose to Dynamo Kyiv. As a result, Nyva took part in the 1996–97 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, even progressing to the first round after beating JK Tallinna Sadam on away goals (1:2 loss in Tallinn and 1:0 win in Vinnytsia). However, the Swiss side FC Sion beat the Ukrainian side with a 6:0 score on aggregate (2:0 in Sion and 4:0 in Vinnytsia), ending the dream run in Europe.
The club ceased to exist after it was relegated from the First League in 2006 because of financial difficulties. In 2006 it was replaced with FC Bershad from Bershad, Vinnytsia oblast (see FC Nyva Bershad).
Nyva-Svitanok

In the 2007–08 season, the club reentered professional league competition into the Second League as FC Nyva-Svitanok, the new part of its name meaning dawn, or new beginning. Also, Svitanok is the name of a city's flower market.
On 8 July 2008, the club changed their name from "FC Nyva-Svitanok Vinnytsia" to "PFC Nyva Vinnytsia".[1]
Establishment of PFC Nyva-V
The club was again reformed and entered the Vinnytsia Oblast competition for 2015–16, finishing in fifth place.[2] On 29 February 2016, there took place a conference, at which it was announced about the revival of the professional football club.[3] It was expected that FC Vinnytsia would merge into the new PFC Nyva-V.[3] The new owner became Vasyl Vovk.[3] It was announced that the club is going through a licensing process to play in the Ukrainian Second League.[3] In 2016, the club participated in the 2016 Ukrainian Football Amateur League, finishing second in their group. The club successfully passed attestation and competed in the 2016–17 Ukrainian Second League season finishing 7th place.[4]
At the end of 2020, the club announced about financial hardship, and acting president of the club Vadym Kudiarov complained about lack of interest from local government and public.[5]
Infrastructure
Stadiums
The club had adopted a stadium that previously belonged to the Vinnytsia chemical factory. It became known as the Sports Complex Nyva, which has a capacity of 3,282 seats.
Also, the club plays some of their games at the Tsentralnyi Stadion (Central Stadium, previously Lokomotyv), which was expanded before the 1980 Summer Olympics and has a capacity of 24,000 spectators. The Central Stadium is usually used in "big" matches against famous opponents, while all the other matches are played at SC Nyva.
In addition, the club owns a small training base in Vinnytsia.
