# FC Nyva Buzova

Football Club Nyva Buzova (Ukrainian: Футбольний клуб Нива Бузова) was a Ukrainian football team from Buzova, Bucha Raion which is about 34 km (21 mi) west of Kyiv on the highway Kyiv – Zhytomyr.

## History

The club traces its heritage when in 1980 a football team was created at the Soviet farm Buzivsky by local engineer Vasyl Kryzhevsky who worked as a sports instructor on voluntary basis. The created team was part of the Kolos sports society. It participated in competitions predominantly at district level (Kyiv-Stvyatoshyno Raion); at regional level (Kyiv Oblast) it competed irregularly with the longest pause between 2009 and 2017 due to reconstruction of the local stadium.
In 2005 and 2006 Buzova was represented by another club Hran that became the 2006 AAFU League finalist.
The Nyva Buzova was revamped in 2019 by Oktay Efendiyev, who started to finance the team and on efforts of whom the club received own training camp and football academy. In Ukraine Oktay Efendiyev is known as the chairman of the Congress of Ukrainian Azerbaijanis. The newly built training base has stretched to some 340 m$^2$ (3,700 sq ft). The stadium, Buzova Arena, with artificial turf was built within 6 month has 253 seating capacity and has four floodlight towers to hold matches after the sundown. The club also invited local manager Serhiy Karpenko who led FC Avanhard Bziv to regional championship title three consecutive seasons and won the Ukrainian Amateur Cup, while Marko Martynenko concentrated on coaching at the club's academy. Since 2019, the club also operates its own football academy.
In 2020 Oktay Efendiyev announced that he has intentions to transform the amateur club into professional. One of the inspirations for such an intention were successes of the neighboring Chaika Petropavlivska-Borshchahivka. In 2020 the club made its debut in the Ukrainian Amateur Cup and in 2021 entered the national amateur competitions finishing at the top of its group.
On 1 December 2023, Ihor Zhabchenko, the club's manager, confirmed that the president of the club is planning to close his football project.
In 2024, there appeared speculations that the club would be merged to FC Kudrivka.
