FC Borysfen Boryspil is a formerly professional Ukrainian football club from Boryspil, Ukraine. The club was created as a phoenix club in 1997 by Ihor Kovalevych after disagreement in FC CSKA Kyiv (today FC Arsenal Kyiv). The history of the club is controversial and its admission to professional competitions is dubious. In mid 1990s the original team of Zlobenko reached some agreement with the Central Sports Club of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (CSK ZSU) after which there was established a joint team "CSKA-Borysfen" that became the first successful debutant of the Ukrainian Vyshcha Liha (today Ukrainian Premier League) finishing among top 5 at the end of season. Following that season the newly created Professional Football League for unknown reason decided to dissolve the joint venture and recognize ownership of the club after company "Kyiv-Donbass" that was associated with the Ministry of Defense.
The original owner Zlobenko gave up, while his partner Kovalevych decided to "revenge the injustice" and in 1997 re-established new club in Boryspil with a promise to advance to the top league again. Kovalevych kept his promise, but after couple of seasons the club was relegated from premiers and later went bankrupt.
The club was re-founded in 2013 after bankruptcy in 2007, joining the local amateur league with a view to return to professional football.
