FC Lviv (1992–2001)
From 1992 until 2001 there existed a club in Lviv with the same name. As amateurs this team won the Lviv Amateur Cup and were Lvivska Oblast Champions. The club entered the professional ranks in 1993 and progressed from the Ukrainian Third League to the Ukrainian First League until it was taken over by FC Karpaty Lviv in 2001 and renamed and converted to their 2nd squad or Reserve team, FC Karpaty-2 Lviv. This club still holds the record for being the only team from outside the Ukrainian Premier League that has progressed twice to the quarterfinals of the Ukrainian Cup competition.
FC Lviv (2006–2012)
The current FC Lviv is unrelated to the club that played in Lviv from 1992–2001. The current club was founded in May 2006. Tha club entered the Persha Liha as a replacement for the bankrupt club FC Hazovyk-Skala Stryi, which also represented Lviv Oblast.
In its debut season FC Lviv reached 11th place and scored 45 goals. At the start of the next season, in the beginning of September 2007, the club moved to the newly built stadium Kniazha Arena in Dobromyl, west of Sambir. This arena was constructed by and named after Ukrainian insurance company Knyazha, who is the club's main sponsor. The previous home ground of the club was SKA Stadium in Lviv which fell out of favor with the FFU, PFL.
