===Ukrainian independence===
Just before the collapse of the Soviet Union, in 1989 the club was transformed into a professional football club instead of the Soviet "team of masters", a process through which all Soviet teams of masters went through. The club joined the [[Football Federation of Ukraine|football federation of the native country]] and remained one of the top contenders in the newly formed [[Ukrainian Premier League]]. The team received a silver medal in 1993, as well as the bronze in 1992, 1995, 1996, 2001 and 2004. The team also reached the [[Ukrainian Cup]] finals in 1995, 1997 and 2004, losing all three to [[FC Shakhtar Donetsk|Shakhtar Donetsk]]. In the beginning of the 1990s the control of the club took over a native of [[Rivne]] [[Ihor Bakai]] with his "Respublika" corporation who earlier in the 1980s was governor of the [[SKA Karpaty Lviv]] training center, part of the [[Carpathian Military District]].<ref name=stange>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170714065501/http://football.ua/ownshirt/events/176015-vy-popaly-v-shtangu.html "Вы попали в штангу"]. football.ua (archived version). 9 September 2012</ref> Bakai who invited [[Bernd Stange]] to Dnipro became first who hired foreign manager to head the former Soviet club.<ref name=stange/> At that time Bakai was a member of the [[Verkhovna Rada]] (Ukrainian parliament) and a chairman of the Intergaz corporation which had exclusive rights of importing gas to Ukraine from [[Turkmenistan]] and in Ukraine was unofficially referred to as the "Gaz King".<ref name=stange/> The experience of the former manager of [[East Germany national football team]] [[Bernd Stange]] in [[Dnipro]] was described in the biographic book that was published in Germany in 2004 "Trainer zwischen den Welten. Bernd Stange" (Coach between the Worlds. Bernd Stange).<ref>[https://www.tagesspiegel.de/potsdam/potsdam-kultur/trainer-zwischen-den-welten-7730524.html Kultur: Trainer zwischen den Welten] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230731164619/https://www.tagesspiegel.de/potsdam/potsdam-kultur/trainer-zwischen-den-welten-7730524.html |date=31 July 2023 }}. www.tagesspiegel.de. 17 April 2004</ref>
During the summer of 1996 Dnipro initiated "repositioning" of its best players along with Bernd Stange to CSKA-Borysfen which in the previous season placed 4th just behind Dnipro.<ref name=stange/> Among those players were [[Oleksandr Yevtushok]], [[Viktor Skrypnyk]], [[Serhiy Kovalets]], [[Serhiy Mizin]], [[Andriy Polunin]], [[Serhiy Nahornyak]], [[Volodymyr Sharan]], [[Oleksandr Palyanytsya]].<ref name=stange/> However, just few day before the start of the [[1996–97 Ukrainian Premier League|1996–97]] season in Ukrainian Vyshcha Liha (Higher League), on the joint session of the Professional Football League (PFL) and the Football Federation of Ukraine (FFU), [[FC Arsenal Kyiv|CSKA-Borysfen]] was taken away from its original owners and handed over to Mikhail Grinshpon ("Kiev-Donbass")<ref name=stange/> connected with [[Semion Mogilevich]].<ref>[https://kompromat1.press/articles/104682-otkupitcja_li_grinshpon_ot_nabu Откупится ли Гриншпон от НАБУ?] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230731191647/https://kompromat1.press/articles/104682-otkupitcja_li_grinshpon_ot_nabu |date=31 July 2023 }}. kompromat1.press</ref> With the transfer of Dnipro players falling completely through, players ended up in danger of missing a season.<ref name=stange/>
===Success and downfall===
On 14 May 2015, Dnipro qualified for the [[2015 UEFA Europa League Final]] by defeating [[S.S.C. Napoli|Napoli]] 1–0 in Ukraine after having drawn 1–1 in Italy, the first time in the club's history that it reached the final in a European competition.<ref>{{cite web|url=
In late June 2016, there were rumours that club owner [[Ihor Kolomoyskyi]] had stopped funding the club.<ref name="FC Dnipro not bankrupt">{{cite web |url=http://en.interfax.com.ua/news/sport/353587.html |title=
The 2016–17 season was disastrous for Dnipro. Due to outstanding debts owed to coach [[Juande Ramos]] and his staff, the FFU prevented Dnipro from signing new players other than free agents. On 26 October 2016, Dnipro was assessed a penalty of 6 points for the same reason. In April 2017, 3 additional points were deducted. At the conclusion of the 2016–2017 season, Dnipro were relegated directly to the [[Ukrainian Second League]] (third level) for the first time in club history.
Line 60:
On 7 June 2018, FIFA decided to once more relegate the club and for the [[2018–19 Ukrainian Football Amateur League#Group 3|2018–19 season]] the club was to play
in the [[Ukrainian Amateur Football Championship|Amateur League]].<ref name="dnipra_n565080">{{cite web
On 22 February 2021, FIFA dismissed the claim of [[Jaba Kankava]] who appealed with a request to recognize [[SC Dnipro-1]] a sports successor of FC Dnipro in order to recover his unpaid salary from FC Dnipro.<ref name="sportarena.com"/>
Line 74:
The stadium was opened on 15 September 2008. The opening ceremony featured a speech by [[President of Ukraine|Ukrainian president]] [[Viktor Yushchenko]], a concert performance by a number of famous Ukrainian musicians and two football matches: Veterans of [[FC Dynamo Kyiv|Dynamo Kyiv]] vs. [[FC Spartak Moscow|Spartak Moscow]] veterans, and Dnipro against Dynamo Kyiv. As a gift to the club from the city, the street that the stadium is situated on was renamed into Kucherevskyi Boulevard, in honour of Dnipro's late coach [[Yevhen Kucherevskyi]]. Dnipro played their first official game on 29 September 2008 against their local rivals [[FC Metalurh Zaporizhya|Metalurh Zaporizhya]], but Dnipro lost 1–2. They set a new attendance record for the Ukrainian Premier League [[Ukrainian Premier League 2008–09|2008–09 season]] at 31,000 spectators.
Since the beginning of the [[Russo-Ukrainian War]], Dnipro have played their European matches at the [[Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex|Olympic Stadium]] in [[Kyiv]] at the behest of [[UEFA]], although there has been comparatively less conflict in Dnipropetrovsk than other areas.<ref>{{cite news|title=Dnipro qualifier moved to Kiev|url=https://www.espnfc.com/uefa-champions-league/story/1957894/uefa-orders-dnipro-dnipropetrovsk-to-play-copenhagen-champions-league-game-in-kiev|access-date=15 May 2015|agency=[[Press Association]]|publisher=ESPN|date=23 July 2014|archive-date=23 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150523054847/http://www.espnfc.com/uefa-champions-league/story/1957894/uefa-orders-dnipro-dnipropetrovsk-to-play-copenhagen-champions-league-game-in-kiev|url-status=live}}</ref>
==Supporters and rivalries==
Line 83:
Most of the fans hold right-wing ideological views ([[Ukrainian nationalism]]). Dnipro is considered the third most popular club in Ukraine, and home and away matches are attended by large crowds. The largest Dnipro ultras groups are the ''Voice of the North Stand'' ({{lang-uk|Рупор Північної Трибуни}}) and ''Ultras'83'' ({{lang-uk|Ультрас'}}83).
The most famous derby in eastern Ukraine is the ''Skhidne Derby'' (English: Eastern Derby) between Dnipro and [[FC Metalist Kharkiv|Metalist Kharkiv]]. The game at the stadium is very hard and almost every game ends in a fight between football fans from Dnipropetrovsk and [[Kharkiv]]. There was also a city derby in Dnipropetrovsk between Dnipro and [[FC Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih (1959–2013)|Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih]]. In May 2016, Metalist Kharkiv was removed from Ukraine's professional football leagues.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ffu.org.ua/ukr/ffu/about/ffu_news/15094/ |trans-title=The FFU Appeal Committee decline appeals of Hoverla and Metalist |publisher=[[Football Federation of Ukraine]] |date=16 May 2016 |access-date=16 May 2016 |script-title=uk:Апеляційний комітет ФФУ відхилив апеляції "Металіста" та "Говерли" |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160516130830/http://www.ffu.org.ua/ukr/ffu/about/ffu_news/15094/ |archive-date=16 May 2016 |language=uk }}</ref> Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih is, after its 2013 bankruptcy, an amateur club.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.interfax.co.uk/ukraine-news/fc-kryvbas-launches-bankruptcy-procedure/ |title=FC Kryvbas launches bankruptcy procedure |publisher=[[Interfax-Ukraine]] |date=12 June 2013 |access-date=9 December 2016 |archive-date=16 June 2013 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130616013839/http://www.interfax.co.uk/ukraine-news/fc-kryvbas-launches-bankruptcy-procedure/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{in lang|uk}} [https://web.archive.org/web/20160422200255/http://kryvbas.dp.ua/publ/7-1-0-913 Gen.Director of Kryvbas: The team has marvelous chances to start playing in the PFL already this summer].
