'''Football Club Dnipro''' ({{lang-uk|Футбо́льний Клуб «Дніпро́»}}, {{IPA-uk|d<sup>(j)</sup>n<sup>(j)</sup>iˈprɔ|IPA|uk-Дніпро.ogg}}) was a Ukrainian [[association football|football]] club based in [[Dnipro]]. The club played its last season in the [[2018–19 Ukrainian Football Amateur League#Group 3|2018–19 Ukrainian Amateur League]]. The club was owned by ukrainian businessman [[Ihor Kolomoyskyi]].
In 2018, FC Dnipro was forced into bankruptcy by [[FIFA]] due to multiple legal claims for failing to pay the promised monetary compensation to players and managers. [[SC Dnipro-1]] currently exists as an unofficial successor.<ref name="sportarena.com">Oles Khorunzhyi. ''[https://sportarena.com/football/upl/dnepr-1-podtverdil-chto-fifa-otklonila-isk-kankavy-i/ SC Dnipro-1 confirmed that FIFA dismissed the claim of Jaba Kankava and did not recognize the club a successor of Dnipro (Днепр-1 подтвердил, что ФИФА отклонила иск Канкавы и не признала клуб правопреемником Днепра)]''.

The club was founded in 1918. During the Soviet era, the club was a member of the Soviet Volunteer Sports Society "Metallurg" (therefore it carried names Metallurg/Metalurh and Stal) and until 1961 was under sponsorship of the Petrovsky Dnipropetrovsk Metallurgical Plant. After that, the club was sponsored by the Southern Machine-building Plant [[Yuzhmash]] and carried both names Russian '''Dnepr''' and Ukrainian '''Dnipro''', while Dnepr was also used for international competitions. During the Soviet era, the club was the second most successful club, based in Ukraine, that participated in the [[Soviet Top League]], winning in [[1983 Soviet Top League|1983]] and [[1988 Soviet Top League|1988]]. After the [[fall of the Soviet Union]], the club was privatized.

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.
In the 2017–18 season, the club with a new squad started well in the Group B of the Second League, for 13 matches in row going on high positions (second-fourth places). But the points have been deducted once more with their number reaching up to 18 until the end of the season, which resulted in club finishing on 8th place.
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 |url=https://football24.ua/kolomoyskiy_anonsuvav_vidnovlennya_dnipra_n565080|title= Kolomoisky announced the restoration of the Dnieper|publisher=football24.ua |date=21 October 2019|access-date=8 January 2020 |language=uk}}</ref> In the [[2019–20 Ukrainian Football Amateur League|2019–20 Amateur League]] the club did not participate.<ref name="dnipra_n565080"/><ref>Yuriy Samotkan.
