edit

Team was formed on 20 June 2000.[1] Volodymyr Popov, director of Kremenchuk City Milk Plant initiated the club creation and became clubs President. Stanislav Turchenko was appointed first manager. He signed players who he coached in youth leagues prior to his appointment.[2]

In 2000 the club participated in Ukrainian Football Amateur League finishing last in their group. This forced the Club leadership to replace Turchenko with Anatoliy Skurskyi and Ihor Humeniuk. In March 2001 Club signed a contract with local sporting school 2 to train local players for the club.[3] Players were also replaced. During the 2002 season, club finished forth in group B and advanced to second stage of the competition. Kremez failed to advance, finishing last in group three.[2]
