FC Chornomorets Odesa (Ukrainian: Футбо́льний Клуб Чорномо́рець Оде́са uk) is a Ukrainian professional football club based in Odesa, Ukraine.
According to the club's website, it was formed in 1936 as Dynamo,[5] but until 2002 it carried a logo with 1958 and 1959[6][7] listed as the club's years of foundation on its shield, which is when the club received its current name. The club's shield is very similar to the shield of Romanian FC Farul Constanța.[8]
Chornomorets is the first club in the modern history of Ukraine to win the Ukrainian Cup (1992), and also repeated this success in the 1993–94 season.
For over 30 years, the club was sponsored by the Black Sea Shipping Company (1959–1991).[9] The club was among top 20 Soviet clubs that competed in Soviet Top League. The club's home ground is Chornomorets Stadium and has been opened in 2011.
