FC Volyn Lutsk (Ukrainian: ФК "Волинь" Луцьк [vo'lɪnʲ lut͡sʲk]) is a professional Ukrainian football team in the Ukrainian Premier League.

History

The Lutsk club was formed in 1960 initially as Avanhard, after the Soviet Avanhard (Avangard) sports society, but before the start of competition the name was changed to Volyn. The club initially entered the third division of Soviet professional football. In 1968 the Lutsk Machinebuilding Factory became the club's new sponsor (today – LuAZ) and changed its name to Torpedo. However in 1971 the club declared insolvency. The city was represented by SKA Lvov of Carpathian Military District that relocated to Lutsk. In 1977 the club was revived as Torpedo and re-entered the Soviet third division where it continued to participate until the fall of the Soviet regime. On January 30, 1989 Torpedo was succeeded by new club Volyn. The club took part in the Ukrainian Premier League from its first championship in 1992. They were later sent down to Persha Liha after the 1995–96 season. They later returned to the Ukrainian Premier League in the 2002–03 season, but they were relegated again after finishing 15th place in the 2005–06 season. The team once more gained promotion to the Ukrainian Premier League for the 2010–11 season.

Their home stadium is Avanhard Stadium.

Colours are (Home) light red shirt, deep red shorts; (Away) white shirt with light red collar and upper sleeve, white shorts.
