## History

The club was formed in early part of 1999 by owner a local company "Adoms" Kostiantyn Turkin and Dmytro Oleksiinko. Turkin became the club's first President. Hryhoriy Chychykov was appointed as first coach. Club colors were blue and white. For its first season the team participated in second round of Poltava Oblast Championship replacing Budivelnyk Shyshaky. They finished 11th out of 13 teams.

Team also took part in Poltava Oblast cup, where they lost in final against Psel Hadiach.
Club began its first season in Ukrainian Second League with a team of mostly local players. Club owners planned on promotion during first season in the league. However the team lost its first three matches and was 13th out of 14 teams. This forced the owners to dismiss Hryhoriy Chychykov before the match with Avanhard Rovenky held on 22 August 1999. Serhiy Svystun was appointed a new manager before the game. Avanhard matchday programme listed Chychykov as a manager. This had a positive effect on team who went on a six match winning streak. With few games remaining Adoms was top of the league. For the important match Dnipro-2 was reinforced with players from first team, and won promotion to First league, with Adoms finishing second. The team's top goalscorer was Oleh Krasnopyorov with 9 goals in 23 matches. Club President Kostiantyn Turkin also made 2 appearances as a substitute, playing for 12 minutes in league and cup. Serhiy Svystun before becoming a manager also played for Adoms in one match against FC Arsenal Kharkiv on 8 August 1999. In April 2000 first vice-mayor of Kremenchuk Anatolii Byshenko was charged with corruption for giving Adoms clause of the contract that guaranteed them certain benefits.
During second season, club faced financial difficulties due to its owners overestimating its abilities. During winter break main footballers left club, which left team battling for relegation. Also towards the end of season Club President Kostiantyn Turkin was replaced with Ivan Drobot. Team finished the season 14th.
