History
Private limited company Football Club Urozhay was officially registered on 4 June 2018.[2] Originally it was to be named Ekaterinodar, but eventually, for unknown reasons, the Club was named Urozhay.[3] According to the results of the local web portal's Yuga.ru poll about the team's name that was held from 5 to 14 June, the poll option Urozhay took the last place.[4][5] On 22 June 2018 FC Urozhay received a license for participating in the third-tier Russian Professional Football League in the 2018–19 Russian Professional Football League.[6]
In July 2020 the club was renamed to PFC Kuban. On 24 July 2020, Russian Football Union approved the change of name, with the condition that the club is not the legal successor to former FC Kuban and cannot claim their sporting history.[7]
On 15 June 2021, the club secured the first place in their PFL zone and promotion to Russian Football National League.[8]
