History edit
The team was founded in 2017. "Rubikon" debuted in the Ukrainian Second League in the 2020–21 season.[1]
During 2022–23 season winter break it was announced Rubikon Kyiv and OKKO Kharkiv signed an agreement on cooperation[2] and in the second half were planning to field a joint team. As a joint team they took part in the Makarov Tournament (conducted by the Kyiv Oblast Association of Football) and reached finals where they lost to Shturm Ivankiv.[3] However in the 2023 PFL Winter Cup competed only OKKO and just before the start of the second half, it was announced that Rubikon withdrew, and its players became free agents.[4]
In March of 2023 the club withdrew from competitions due to lack of interest from investors.[5]
