FC Shakhtar Shakhtarsk is a Ukrainian amateur football club from Shakhtarsk, Ukraine. In 1996, the main squad was transformed to FC Metalurh Donetsk and moved to Donetsk. After that, the club continued to play at an amateur level.

History

Initially, FC Shakhtar Shakhtarsk was founded in 1984 at the State Production Association "Shakhtarskantratsyt" from the local miners' football teams of Vinnytska Mine and Postnykivska Mine. Until 1989, it competed at regional competitions, and then, after changing its name to Prometei, it entered the Ukrainian amateur competitions, where it competed until 1991. Prometei Shakhtarsk placed second in their group.[1] In 1992, the club was admitted to the Ukrainian Transitional League (third division) from which it was relegated after the first season. In December of 1992, it was registered as the Khozraschet Football Club Prometei belonging to the Shakhtarskvuhillia mining company.[2] In 1992–93, Prometei, despite finishing sixth, earned promotion to the Second League after FC Antratsyt Kirovske withdrew from competitions. In 1994, the club changed its name to Medita Shakhtarsk after its main sponsor, "Medita" (a local private clinic).[3] In 1995,[4] the club changed its name again to Shakhtar after it was returned under the sponsorship of the Shakhtarskantratsyt.

Reorganization

In 1996, based on the senior squad of Shakhtar, a new club,Metalurh Donetsk was created, which became based in Donetsk.[5][6][7][8] The youth squad of Shakhtar Shakhtarsk joined the youth academy of Shakhtar Donetsk, while other players who were not suited for the club formed a new team, FC Fortuna Shakhtarsk and until 1999 were playing in Kontarne, a suburban urban-type settlement of Shakhtarsk.

Amateur period

In 2000, Fortuna competed in Ukrainian amateur competitions.[9] Next year, the club changed its name again to FC Avanhard Shakhtarsk under which it competed until 2011.[10][11][12] From 2012, the team competes under the name Ajax.[13]
