History
In 2000 at the initiative of Ternopil Mayor Anatoliy Kucherenko, the Ternopil Pedagogical Lyceum (college) of the Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatyuk National Pedagogical University established a team Nyva Ternopil-2, which became a farm club of Nyva Ternopil.[1] The club participated in the Ukrainian Second League during the 2000–01 and 2001–02 seasons.[2] However, after the winter beak in 2002 the club changed their name to FC Ternopil. At the end of the 2001–02 season the main club was relegated from the Ukrainian First League and FC Ternopil lost its professional license.
In 2003, the team called Burevisnyk was formed and began competing in the top league of Ternopil obslast, representing Ternopil Pedagogical University.
On May 16, 2007 the team ceased its affiliation with Nyva Ternopil and formed a single club – Ternopil-Burevisnyk. In the same year the team won their first trophy – as champions of Ternopil oblast.

In June 2012 the club applied for a professional license with the PFL and was granted entry to the Ukrainian Second League for the 2012–13 season.[2]
After two seasons the club was promoted to the Ukrainian First League after finishing 3rd in 2014.[5] In the 2015–16 season the club finished in 15th and were to be relegated but the Professional Football League of Ukraine decided to expand the competition for the next season to 18 teams and the club was fortunately left in the First League.[6]
