History[]

The club was founded in 2015 by former customs officials in one of the Uzhhorod suburbs Mynai (Minaj) and played at the city and since 2016 – at the regional level.

The club was admitted to the Professional Football League of Ukraine after passing attestation for the 2018–19 Ukrainian Second League season.^[2] In their first professional season, Mynai managed to win Group A of the Second League, which earned them promotion to the Ukrainian First League. However, they lost the Ukrainian Second League Championship Game to Group B winners FC Kremin Kremenchuk.

In the 2019-20 Ukrainian First League season, they finished first, earning them promotion to the Ukrainian Premier League.^[1] Since the start of the 2020–21 season they play their home matches in the Avanhard Stadium in Uzhhorod.^[1] They still play in the Ukrainian Premier League, despite finishing last in the 2020-2021 season. Instead Olimpik Donetsk (they had finished 13th in the Premier League) were relegated back to the Persha Liha (Second Ukrainian League).^[3]
