For the first time the Poltava's club was fielding its second team back in 1959 when the direct predecessor of Vorskla, Kolhospnyk, fielded its team in the 1959 Football Championship of the Ukrainian SSR.
In 1984, based on the second team and football academy of Kolos Poltava, there was established FC Vorskla Poltava.
