The club was created in 2015 in town of Zhovtneve (today Mykolaivka).[1] From its establishment to 2021 the club was coached by Artem Radionov, a footballer out of Sumy, who spent most of his career playing for teams from the city of Sumy as well as the region.
The club returned to professional competitions in 2023 due to the 2022 Russian aggression against Ukraine. During their time away, Viktoriya merged with another club FC Alyans Lypova Dolyna taking over their place in the Ukrainian First League (2nd tier). The merger took place in January 2022[2] and was postponed during the active phase of the Russian full-scale invasion and partial occupation of Sumy Oblast. In 2023 the club officially moved its administration of Sumy playing at the main stadium.
