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.
