# 2023–24 FC Chernihiv season

During the 2023–24 season, FC Chernihiv competed in the Ukrainian First League. Due to the ruin of the Chernihiv Arena, the club used Yunist Stadium. Following this season, the club was relegated to Ukrainian Second League.

## Season summary

The season began with the release of Volodymyr Zubashivskyi, Myroslav Serdyuk, Oleksandr Rudenko, and Dmytro Kulyk. In June 2023, Jako was confirmed as sponsor. The club signed young players such as Nikita Posmashnyi, Dzhilindo Bezghubchenko, Daniil Davydenko, Stanislav Khomych, Artem Strilets and Denys Herasymenko. The club's first victory was against Dinaz Vyshhorod in Chernihiv. On 19 August, due to a Russian missile strike that killed seven people, the match against FSC Mariupol was postponed. The club begins to lose many matches and the new young players are unable to replace the players who have left the club. In October 2023, Artem Strilets was called up by the Ukraine national student football team.In the winter transfer session, the club intervenes by quickly purchasing players with some experience such as Danyil Khondak and Oleh Osypenko from Veres Rivne and Inhulets Petrove, respectively. Also arriving were Dmytro Sakhno from Viktoriya Sumy, Bogdan Lyanskoronskyi from Kudrivka and Daniil Volskyi from Nyva Ternopil. At the same time they've lost two main players such us Anatoliy Romanchenko and Maksym Serdyuk moved to Inhulets Petrove and Livyi Bereh Kyiv, respectively. The club finished in nineteenth place and was relegated to the Ukrainian Second League.
