Rumors about appearance of the new club in Poltava based at the VSS "Kolhospnyk" started to circulate in the fall of 1954.

[4] Beside Mikhail Stakhursky one of the others who initiated the creation of the club was a chairman of the regional committee of physical culture and sport Oleksandr Kobushko who until 1953 played for various Poltava teams including Dynamo and Spartak.

[4] The selection policy of the Kolhospnyk management was aimed at inviting football players from Moscow and Transcarpathia.

[4] When naming all those who contributed to the creation of the team, one cannot help but recall Petro Beznosenko, by that time deputy chairman of the Ukrainian Council of the Kolhospnyk VSS.

[4] In March, the Committee on Physical Culture and Sports included “Kolhospnyk” among the participants in the Football Championship of the Ukrainian SSR.

Therefore, the Poltava team had to play friendly matches throughout the spring and take part in one-day blitz tournaments.

On this day, at the Poltava stadium "Urozhai" (today - Vorskla) "Kolhospnyk" hosted the team Shakhtar Odesa.

Either a great desire to play as best as possible got in the way, or it was a lack of experience, but be that as it may, the Poltava team lost the first game with a score of 0:2, conceding a goal in each half.

[4] On May 25, Kolhospnyk won its first trophy - the Poltava City Cup, beating its main competitors - Lokomotyv in the final with a score of 2:1, and the victory came only in extra time.

At the final competition, which, by the way, took place in Poltava in July, the hosts did not lose a single match, having drawn one game.

[4] Already in 1957, the club obtained its professional status (team of masters) and was included in the competitions of the Soviet third division (then "Class B").

One of the biggest successes of Vorskla in European competition was their qualification to the 2011–12 UEFA Europa League group phase.

On 26 July 2014, the club's president Oleh Babayev was shot dead, while police has opened a criminal cases under Article “premeditated murder".
