After the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation in 2014, the club was forced to cease its existence after 56 years, while in occupied Crimean peninsula a new club composed of some of its staff and players joined the Russian Football Union under the new name FC TSK Simferopol.[2]
In June 2015, the Football Federation of Ukraine and the Tavriya's president announced it would re-establish the club and its new home would be Kherson.[3] On 29 August 2016, club was added to Group 2 of the 2016–17 Ukrainian Football Amateur League. The revamped club is based in Beryslav, Kherson oblast.[4]
Prior to the start of the 2020–21 Ukrainian Second League the club merged with FC Tavriya Novotroitske, this fusion continued to play under the original name of SC Tavriya Simferopol (in the 2020–21 Ukrainian Second League season).[5][6]
At the start of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, they were based in Nova Kakhovka[7] On 28 March 2022, Tavriya ceased club activities after 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and subsequent occupation of Kherson Oblast.[8]
The original club was founded in 1958, under the name Avanhard Simferopol and was based on the former Crimean champion 'Burevestnik Simferopol'.[citation needed] Sometime in 1963, Avanhard changed its name to Tavriya. Tavriya played their first game in the USSR Championship against the Yaroslav based club Khimik. Overall, Tavriya played 132 clubs from 113 cities. They played their last match of the Soviet competition against FC Uralmash Yekaterinburg.[citation needed]
After the fall of the Soviet Union, the Ukrainian Premier League was formed. Tavria was one of its founders and eventually became the very first Ukrainian champion in 1992, under the Simferopol born manager Anatoliy Zayaev, defeating FC Dynamo Kyiv, Ukraine's most successful club in the final, held in Lviv. Yuriy Hudymenko became the league's top scorer. More players from that era were Oleksandr Holovko, a defender who also played many years for Ukraine national team, and captain Serhiy Yakovych Shevchenko, who scored the championship goal against Dynamo Kyiv. Having earned the right to participate in 1992–93 UEFA Champions League, Tavryia were knocked out in the first round by Swiss club FC Sion. The Russian Sport-Express posted an article (No.3 (43), 25 January 2000, page 9) stating that the Ukrainian champions Tavria were threatened by the Football Federation of Ukraine to compete at the CIS Cup in 1993.
Tavria was one of the five clubs to have until 2014 participated in every season of the Ukrainian Premier League. Their best performance in the Ukrainian Cup came in 2010, where they defeated FC Metalurh Donetsk in the final to win the competition. They had previously reached the final in 1994, where they lost to FC Chornomorets Odesa in a penalty shootout.
After the annexation of Crimea by Russia, Tavriya asked permission from UEFA and FIFA to shift to the Russian league next season.[9] The club applied for a Russian license and changed its name to FC TSK Simferopol.[2] The club currently plays in the Crimean Premier League.
On 18 June 2015, the Football Federation of Ukraine executive committee voted in favor of re-establishing the club now to be located in Kherson (the largest Ukrainian city bordering Crimea).[3] Serhiy Kunitsyn, Tavriya's former president and also a former Prime Minister of Crimea, was put in charge of the project.[3]
In August 2016, the revamped version of the club applied to play in the 2016–17 Ukrainian Football Amateur League.[10] It did not enter this competition at first.[11] However, Tavriya was included to group 2 of 2016–17 Ukrainian Football Amateur League on 29 August. Re-established club based in the city of Beryslav in Kherson Oblast.[12]
In November 2016, the club applied for FFU attestation in order to achieve professional status in the next season.[13] After finishing the 2016–17 season in the Amateur League, Tavriya was included into PFL and promoted to Ukrainian Second League in June 2017.[14] The club was included to group B of 2017–18 Ukrainian Second League.
Prior to the start of the 2020–21 Ukrainian Second League the club merged with FC Tavriya Novotroitske, but continued to play under its original name.[5][6]
On 28 March 2022 Tavriya ceased club activities after 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and subsequent temporary occupation of Kherson Oblast.[8]
