History[edit]
Oleksandriya-2 was created on 6 June 2024 before the start of 2024–25 Ukrainian Second League season.[3]
Previously under the name of Polihraftekhnika, there existed Polihraftekhnika-2 in 1990s.[4] It competed in at regional level and the Ukrainian Association of Amateur Football (AAFU). For a little while it was also known as Polihraftekhnika-Krystal. In 2000s there existed a separate farm club Oleksandriya-Ametyst which was based on a local football academy "Ametyst". That team also competed at regional level and AAFU. Sometime in 2012–2014 Oleksandriya cooperated with UkrAhroKom Holovkivka. The team from Holovkivka reached the Ukrainian First League before officially merging with FC Oleksandriya as part of reorganization in 2014.
Oleksandriya-2 became the first own reserve team that debuted at professional level in 2024.
