Current season

Narodnyy Klub Veres Rivne (Ukrainian: РНК «Верес») is a Ukrainian professional football club based in Rivne. The club competes in the Ukrainian Premier League, the top tier of Ukrainian football, after winning the 2020–21 Ukrainian First League. Their home stadium until 2017 was Avanhard Stadium. As it is under reconstruction, they currently play home matches at Avanhard Stadium in Lutsk.

Founded in 1957, Veres first promoted to Ukrainian Premier League in 1992, and spent there 5 seasons in total over three periods. They achieved their best result of 6th place in 2017–18 season. Veres also reached the semi-finals of 1993–94 Ukrainian Cup.

The team ran into financial difficulties after the winter break of the 2010–11 season and was removed from the Ukrainian Second League.[4] It was reinstated and resumed playing in the same league in 2015.[5] The home uniform consists of red shirt with black shorts; the away uniform is all black.
