The '''Deutsche Eishockey Liga''' (for sponsorship reasons called '''[[Penny (supermarket)|PENNY]] Deutsche Eishockey Liga''') ({{IPA|de|ˌdɔʏtʃə ˈʔaɪshɔki ˌliːɡa}}; English: ''German Ice Hockey League'') or '''DEL''', is a professional [[ice hockey]] league in [[Germany]] and the highest division in German ice hockey. Founded in 1994, it was formed as a replacement for the [[Eishockey-Bundesliga]] and became the new top-tier league in Germany as a result. Unlike the old Bundesliga, the DEL is not under the administration of the [[Deutscher Eishockey-Bund|German Ice Hockey Federation]].

Teams from the DEL participate in the [[International Ice Hockey Federation|IIHF]]'s annual [[Champions Hockey League]] (CHL), competing for the European Trophy. Participation is based on the strength of the various leagues in Europe (excluding the European/Asian [[Kontinental Hockey League]]). Going into the [[2022–23 Champions Hockey League|2022–23 CHL season]], the DEL was [[Champions Hockey League#League ranking|ranked the No. 3 league]] in Europe, allowing them to send their top four teams to compete in the CHL.

In the 2016–17 season, the league was the second-best supported ice hockey league in Europe, behind the Swiss [[National League A]], with an average attendance of 6,198 spectators per game.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.iihf.com/home-of-hockey/news/attendance-2016-2017/|title=SC Bern on top for 16th time in a row|website=iihf.com|publisher=[[International Ice Hockey Federation]]|access-date= 7 January 2018}}</ref> Fourteen different teams comprise the league, playing their home games in a diverse mix of venues, including a few large, modern arenas (e.g. in Berlin, Mannheim, Cologne, and Düsseldorf) and older, smaller venues (e.g. in Iserlohn, Schwenningen and Straubing). [[Kölner Haie]] (English: Cologne Sharks), [[Düsseldorfer EG]], and [[Eisbären Berlin]] (Berlin Polar Bears) all regularly attract over 15,000 fans for home games. [[Adler Mannheim]] (Mannheim Eagles) also regularly attract over 12,000 fans per home game with each of their home games in the 2019 DEL Playoffs, including all three games in the final series against [[EHC Red Bull München]], selling out. Despite attracting some of the biggest crowds in the DEL, and hosting [[NHL]] teams in preseason games, Kölner Haie have not won a championship since 2002.

In the DEL Winter Game, similar to the [[NHL Winter Classic]] where matches are played in larger outdoor venues, Cologne and Düsseldorf have played in front of crowds in excess of 40,000, notably in 2019 as Düsseldorf won in overtime in rival Cologne's [[RheinEnergieStadion]]. The DEL Winter Game traditionally takes place every two years; four editions have been played since 2013, including games in [[Cologne]] and at the home of [[TSG Hoffenheim]], with each attracting over 30,000 spectators. Following a 2021 postponement due to the ongoing [[COVID-19 pandemic]], the DEL Winter Game returned in December 2022 with Cologne hosting Mannheim in the RheinEnergieStadion.

The DEL is known for its game-day atmosphere, as well as producing NHL talents including [[Dominik Kahun]], [[Tim Stützle]] and [[Lukas Reichel]]. Many of the German national team that [[Ice hockey at the 2018 Winter Olympics – Men's tournament|took silver]] at the [[2018 Winter Olympics]] in [[Pyeongchang]] played in the DEL, while [[EHC Red Bull München]] became the first German team to reach the [[Champions Hockey League]] final in [[2018–19 Champions Hockey League|2019]], losing to the Swedish team [[Frölunda HC]]. [[EHC Red Bull München]] followed this up by reaching the semi-finals in the [[2021-22 Champions Hockey League]]. Ice hockey is growing as a sport in Germany and is seen as a popular alternative to [[association football|football]] or [[handball]], building upon the Olympic success in 2018.

A new system of promotion and relegation with the [[DEL2]] began with the [[2021–22 DEL season|2021–22 season]], in which the last-placed DEL club will be replaced by the DEL2 champions. [[SC Bietigheim Steelers]] joined the DEL for the [[2021-22 DEL season]] as DEL2 champions ahead of the first promotion/relegation to [[DEL2]]. Following the conclusion of the [[2021–22 DEL season|2021–22 season]], Bietigheim retained their place in the top flight while [[Krefeld Pinguine]] were relegated after finishing bottom of the table. [[Löwen Frankfurt]] (Frankfurt Lions) were promoted as [[DEL2]] champions for the [[2022–23 DEL season|2022–23 season]].

The DEL Playoffs decide the season champions using a format akin to that of the NHL. Each team plays 52 regular-season games to determine the regular-season champions before the top 10 teams are seeded and qualify for the playoffs. The top 6 teams receive a bye to the quarter-finals while the teams ranked 7–10 compete in the pre-playoff (wildcard) round. The seedings are re-calculated after each round in a straight knockout system. The DEL Finals, held in late April or early May, is a best-of-7 games format, similar to the [[NHL]] where the top seed remaining holds home-ice advantage in a Game 7 scenario.

For the [[2021–22 DEL season|2021–22 season]] and [[2020–21 DEL season|2020–21 season]], a shortened version of the DEL playoffs was used in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. [[Eisbären Berlin]] won the 2022 Finals against [[EHC Red Bull München]] 3-1 in a best-of-5 format. Berlin also won the title in 2021, defeating Wolfsburg 2-1 in a best-of-3 series following a North/South regional league split during the 2020/21 season due to the pandemic.

The [[Eisbären Berlin]] and [[Adler Mannheim]] are the most successful DEL clubs and have won the last three editions between them (Mannheim 2019, Berlin 2021 & 2022). Mannheim have enjoyed a lot of success in recent years (2015 and 2019 Champions, 2021 Regular Season Champions) although [[EHC Red Bull München]] won three consecutive titles between 2016 and 2018 and also made the 2019 final, losing to Mannheim in five games. München were also top of the 2020 standings before the season was curtailed. [[ERC Ingolstadt]] (2014 Champions as the 9th seed) and [[Grizzlys Wolfsburg]] (2021 runners-up) have also enjoyed deep playoff runs in the last decade.

Some of the league's biggest rivalries include [[Kölner Haie]] and [[Düsseldorfer EG]], Kölner Haie and [[Adler Mannheim]], and [[Eisbären Berlin]] and [[EHC Red Bull München]]. The Bavarian Derbies between München, [[ERC Ingolstadt]], [[Augsburger Panther]], [[Straubing Tigers]], and [[Nürnberg Ice Tigers]] are also fiercely contested. Due to geography, Nürnberg/Straubing and Augsburg/Ingolstadt are notable rivalries although Munich/Augsburg has become a stronger rivalry following their epic 2019 semi-final series. München won that series in the deciding game 7 which also included the longest match in DEL history, won by [[Augsburger Panther]] after 104 minutes of action in game 3, as two matches required three overtimes to determine a winner.

==History==
{{unreferenced section|date=November 2018}}
The [[Eishockey-Bundesliga]] was formed in 1957 as the elite hockey competition in the Federal Republic of Germany, replacing the ''Oberliga'' in this position. It was in turn replaced by the Deutsche Eishockey Liga, which now also carries the name '''1st Bundesliga''' in its logo.

[[File:Deutsche Eishockey-Liga Logo 1994.png|thumb|150px|Former DEL logo (1994–1996). The first two seasons were sponsored by [[Krombacher Brauerei|Krombacher Brewery]]]]
[[File:Deutsche Eishockey Liga Logo 1997.svg|thumb|150px|Former DEL logo (1997–2001)]]
[[File:Deutsche Eishockey Liga Logo 2001.svg|thumb|150px|Former DEL logo (2001–2011)]]

The DEL was founded in the 1994–95 season, consisting of teams from the Eishockey-Bundesliga's [[Ice hockey Bundesliga|1st]] and [[2nd Bundesliga (ice hockey)|2nd division]]s. The condition of these earlier leagues had become intolerable. Many 1st and 2nd division teams were heavily in debt. The 2nd division attracted few sponsors and spectators. As a result, many clubs were forced to fold or withdraw to the lower leagues. Fans and corporate sponsors focused on the 1st Bundesliga teams, forcing the elite teams to invest heavily in players to avoid relegation. This increased budgets 25 percent over the previous two years.

In the final Bundesliga season, 1993–94, only 11 teams wanted to play in the ''2nd Bundesliga''. Furthermore, two teams folded during and after the season. Ice hockey's reputation in Germany was heavily tarnished. This made it difficult to attract serious sponsorship. In January 1994, 20 out of the remaining 21 1st and 2nd Bundesliga teams voted for creating a new entity, the DEL.

Upon founding, the "DEL Betriebsgesellschaft mbH" was the first German professional sports league managed by an organization whose members were incorporated as well. The goal behind the DEL was to create a league, based on the model of the North American [[NHL]], in which teams could play consistently without relegation concerns and create a stable league. Clubs in the DEL were required to conform to [[#League regulations|rules]], which were designed to ensure long-term viability. Twelve clubs from the old ''1st Bundesliga'', and six from the ''2nd Bundesliga'' came together as founding members. The new league immediately attracted corporate sponsorship with the [[Krombacher Brauerei|Krombacher Brewery]], which was prominently featured on the new league logo.

The hope of avoiding the troubles of the old ''Bundesliga'' by stricter financial controls did not materialize. During DEL's [[1994–95 Deutsche Eishockey Liga season|initial season]], on 18 December 1994, the ''Bundesliga's'' final champion, the renamed ''EC Hedos München'', folded. This was controversial, as DEL's president Franz Hofherr had approved their license and certified their finances. Hofherr was Mad Dogs former president and it was alleged that he must have known about their desperate financial situation.

The [[Bosman ruling]], a 1995 decision of the [[European Court of Justice]] regarding the movement of labor in soccer, had profound influence on the league. The old Bundesliga had national character with German clubs competing for the German title using mostly German players. After the ruling [[European Union]] players were excluded from the "foreign" player quota. In the [[1995–96 Deutsche Eishockey Liga season|1995–96 season]] following the decision, the DEL teams employed 97 EU players. This lowered costs significantly, enabling smaller teams to compete more effectively. However, frequent player moves were not viewed positively by the fans, resulting in smaller attendance numbers.

Following an agreement with the DEB the league renamed itself as "DEL – Die 1. Bundesliga" in the [[1999–00 Deutsche Eishockey Liga season|1999–2000 season]], while reintroducing relegation and promotion to/from the [[2nd Bundesliga (ice hockey)|2nd Ice Hockey Bundesliga]].

The [[2004–05 Deutsche Eishockey Liga season|2004–05 season]] was significant due to the [[2004–05 NHL lockout|NHL lockout]]. 26 NHL players came to play the season in the DEL, including [[Jamie Langenbrunner]], [[Erik Cole]], [[Stéphane Robidas]], [[Doug Weight]], [[Mike York]] and several German national team players – [[Jochen Hecht]], [[Olaf Kölzig]], and [[Marco Sturm]].

==League regulations==
The DEL is an independently run league, fully owned and operated by its 14 member teams. Each team must fulfill the ''DEL's'' basic requirements to remain in the league:
* A written application for membership;
* "On ice qualification" for new teams (championship in the 2nd Bundesliga);
* A stadium that meets DEL standards;
* Financial qualification;
* Formation of an ordinary company (the DEL consists of franchises);
* Development program for young players; and
* Purchase of a license (currently, the licensing fee is set at €800,000.00)

The DEL can only admit one 2nd Bundesliga team per season to the league, unless the league strength falls below fourteen, in which case two clubs can be admitted. Since the 2006–07 season, no DEL team can be automatically relegated, a team can only lose its league status through non-compliance with the leagues regulations (see above).

The ''ESBG'' guarantees to admit any DEL team wishing to step down to the lower 2nd Bundesliga or [[Oberliga (ice hockey)|Oberliga]]. The team, however, has to purchase a license (licensing fees for the 2nd Bundesliga are currently set at €100,000.00).

To regulate the relationship between the DEL, the ''DEB'' and the ''ESBG'' (2nd Bundesliga), a so-called ''Kooperationsvertrag'' exists. This ''cooperation contract'' was signed in December 2005, and was valid until 2011. This contract ended years of dispute between the three organizations over competencies and financial issues.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.del.org/fileadmin/content/downloads/vorstellung_kooperationsvertrag.pdf | format=PDF | title=Kooperationsvertrages | language=de | publisher=DEL | access-date=30 March 2008 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723165041/http://www.del.org/fileadmin/content/downloads/vorstellung_kooperationsvertrag.pdf | archive-date=23 July 2011 | url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.del.org/index.php?id=39 | title=Fragen zur DEL | language=de | publisher=DEL | access-date=30 March 2008 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723165103/http://www.del.org/index.php?id=39 | archive-date=23 July 2011 | url-status=dead }}</ref>

In November 2007, the DEL announced another change in policy. The league expanded to allow 16 teams beginning in the [[2008–09 DEL season|2008–09 season]], resulting in direct promotion for the [[2nd Bundesliga (ice hockey)|2nd Bundesliga]] league champions, should they fulfill all requirements and be interested in joining the DEL. Should this not be the case, or a current DEL team resigns from the league, a selection process would determine the club, or clubs, who would be eligible to join in order required to achieve 16 teams. ''(Note: [[Füchse Duisburg]] resigned before the [[2009–10 DEL season|2009–10 season]] and was not replaced until the following season.)''

For that season, it was also mandated that each DEL club would be allowed to have no more than ten non-[[European Community|EC]] players under contract.

Additionally, a new format for the game schedule will limit the number of regular-season games to 52 for each team. This is achieved by each team playing four games against eleven others and two games against the remaining four. To determine which teams play, the final standings of the previous season are used.

The DEL would also reintroduce promotion once more. The first- and second-lowest ranked teams will play a best-of-seven series to determine which team faces the [[2nd Bundesliga (ice hockey)|2nd Bundesliga]] champion for a place in the league. There is, however, an ongoing dispute about those games as second division teams may only have five foreign players on contract and therefore face a handicap in comparison to the DEL teams with twelve import players each.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.hockeyweb.de/artikel.php?a=32407 | title=DEL: Neuer Modus mit Auf- und Abstieg | language=de | publisher=Hockeyweb.de | date=21 November 2007 | access-date=30 March 2008 | archive-date=13 December 2007 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071213215013/http://www.hockeyweb.de/artikel.php?a=32407 | url-status=dead }}</ref> For now, the ''ESBG'' has declared that no team from the 2nd Bundesliga would take part in these matches and therefore no promotion/relegation with the DEL will take place.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.kicker.de/del_kein-auf--und-abstieg-376298/artikel | title=DEL: Kein Auf- und Abstieg | language=de | publisher=[[Kicker (magazine)|Kicker]] | date=14 March 2008 | access-date=30 March 2008}}</ref>

'''Football Club ''Dnipro''''' ({{langx|uk|Футбо́льний Клуб «Дніпро́»|{{IPA|uk|fʊdˈbɔlʲnɪj ˈklub d⁽ʲ⁾n⁽ʲ⁾iˈprɔ||uk-Дніпро.ogg}}}}) was a Ukrainian [[association football|football]] club based in [[Dnipro]]. The club played its last season in the [[2018–19 Ukrainian Football Amateur League#Group 3|2018–19 Ukrainian Amateur League]]. The club was owned by Ukrainian businessman [[Ihor Kolomoyskyi]].

In 2018, FC Dnipro was forced into bankruptcy by [[FIFA]] due to multiple legal claims for failing to pay the promised monetary compensation to players and managers. [[SC Dnipro-1]] formerly existed as an unofficial successor.<ref name="sportarena.com">Oles Khorunzhyi. ''[https://sportarena.com/football/upl/dnepr-1-podtverdil-chto-fifa-otklonila-isk-kankavy-i/ SC Dnipro-1 confirmed that FIFA dismissed the claim of Jaba Kankava and did not recognize the club a successor of Dnipro (Днепр-1 подтвердил, что ФИФА отклонила иск Канкавы и не признала клуб правопреемником Днепра)]''. Sport Arena. 23 February 2021.</ref>

The club was founded in 1918. During the Soviet era, the club was a member of the Soviet Volunteer Sports Society "Metallurg" (therefore it carried names Metallurg/Metalurh and Stal) and until 1961 was under sponsorship of the Petrovsky Dnipropetrovsk Metallurgical Plant. After that, the club was sponsored by the Southern Machine-building Plant [[Yuzhmash]] and carried both names Russian '''Dnepr''' and Ukrainian '''Dnipro''', while Dnepr was also used for international competitions. During the Soviet era, the club was the second most successful club, based in Ukraine, that participated in the [[Soviet Top League]], winning in [[1983 Soviet Top League|1983]] and [[1988 Soviet Top League|1988]]. After the [[fall of the Soviet Union]], the club was privatized.

==History==

===BRIT===
The club was formed in 1918 by the Petrovsky factory and was called BRIT (Brianskyi Robitnychyi Industrialnyi Tekhnikum). The team participated in the regional competition, the [[Dnipro|Katerynoslav]] championship. BRIT played its games in the "Sokil" stadium, a small venue located at the corner of Pushkin and Yuriy Savchenko streets, which it shared with four other clubs.

===Petrovets – Stal – Metalurh===
With the outbreak of World War I, BRIT was disbanded until 9 May 1925, when a new team was formed in Dnipropetrovsk. The team participated during the first season under the name ''Petrovsky factory,'' which was changed in 1926 to "Petrovets." The team entered the first [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] competition under the name of ''Stal'' (steel) in 1936, participating in three championships before World War II. In 1947, the team re-entered the Soviet competition after merging with another club from Dnipropetrovsk, [[FC Dynamo Dnipropetrovsk|Dynamo Dnipropetrovsk]]. From 1949 until 1961, the team was called ''Metalurh'' ("metal worker"). From 1950 to 1952, it was relegated to amateur status due to poor results. In 1954, ''Metalurh Dnipropetrovsk'' reached the semi-finals of the [[USSR Cup]], where it lost to [[FC Ararat Yerevan|Spartak Yerevan]].

===Dnepr / Dnipro===
In 1961, the team was handed over to its new sponsor, the ''[[Yuzhmash|Yugmash]]'' (the Southern machine-producing factory), which at that time was one of the most powerful factories in the entire Soviet Union and was funded by the [[Minister of Defence of the Soviet Union|Ministry of Defense]]. It was part of the [[Zenit (sports society)|Zenit volunteer sports society]]. The new sponsor changed the team's name to ''Dnepr/Dnipro'' after the [[Dnieper]] River. For the All-Union competitions such as [[Soviet Cup]] and the [[Soviet Top League]] as well as the international competitions there was used Russian version of the name as the Russian was the accepted language of the Soviet Union and the Soviet government, while at republican level (within the [[Ukrainian SSR]]) Ukrainian version of the name was used. The team's performance did not change much until after 1968, when ''Dnepr'' obtained [[Andriy Biba]] and the new coach – [[Valery Lobanovsky]]. After that, it took the team three years to get promoted to the Soviet Top League and eventually finished in sixth place in 1972.

===Golden generation===
In 1973 and 1976, Dnepr reached the semi-finals of the USSR Cup. In 1978, the team was relegated to the lower league for two years. Their next return to the top flight was not as inviting as their first one and the team languished at the bottom of the table for several years. In the following years, the governing body of the team hired new promising coaches – ''Volodymyr Yemets'' and ''Hennadiy Zhizdik''. After those changes, ''Dnepr'' became a strong contender for the [[Soviet Top League|Soviet championship]] winning it twice: once with Yemets and Zhizdik in 1983, and another one with [[Evgeny Kucherevsky|Yevhen Kucherevsky]] in 1988. Also, in 1989 ''Dnepr'' became the first professional football club in the Soviet Union. During those years, the team featured many notable players such as [[Oleg Protasov]], [[Hennadiy Lytovchenko]], [[Oleksiy Cherednyk]] and [[Oleh Taran]].

===Ukrainian independence===
Just before the collapse of the Soviet Union, in 1989 the club was transformed into a professional football club instead of the Soviet "team of masters", a process through which all Soviet teams of masters went through. The club joined the [[Football Federation of Ukraine|football federation of the native country]] and remained one of the top contenders in the newly formed [[Ukrainian Premier League]]. The team received a silver medal in 1993, as well as the bronze in 1992, 1995, 1996, 2001 and 2004. The team also reached the [[Ukrainian Cup]] finals in 1995, 1997 and 2004, losing all three to [[FC Shakhtar Donetsk|Shakhtar Donetsk]]. In the beginning of the 1990s the control of the club took over a native of [[Rivne]] [[Ihor Bakai]] with his "Respublika" corporation who earlier in the 1980s was governor of the [[SKA Karpaty Lviv]] training center, part of the [[Carpathian Military District]].<ref name=stange>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170714065501/http://football.ua/ownshirt/events/176015-vy-popaly-v-shtangu.html "Вы попали в штангу"]. football.ua (archived version). 9 September 2012</ref> Bakai who invited [[Bernd Stange]] to Dnipro became first who hired foreign manager to head the former Soviet club.<ref name=stange/> At that time Bakai was a member of the [[Verkhovna Rada]] (Ukrainian parliament) and a chairman of the Intergaz corporation which had exclusive rights of importing gas to Ukraine from [[Turkmenistan]] and in Ukraine was unofficially referred to as the "Gaz King".<ref name=stange/> The experience of the former manager of [[East Germany national football team]] Bernd Stange in [[Dnipro]] was described in the biographic book that was published in Germany in 2004 "Trainer zwischen den Welten. Bernd Stange" (Coach between the Worlds. Bernd Stange).<ref>[https://www.tagesspiegel.de/potsdam/potsdam-kultur/trainer-zwischen-den-welten-7730524.html Kultur: Trainer zwischen den Welten] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230731164619/https://www.tagesspiegel.de/potsdam/potsdam-kultur/trainer-zwischen-den-welten-7730524.html |date=31 July 2023 }}. www.tagesspiegel.de. 17 April 2004</ref>

During the summer of 1996 Dnipro initiated "repositioning" of its best players along with Bernd Stange to CSKA-Borysfen which in the previous season placed 4th just behind Dnipro.<ref name=stange/> Among those players were [[Oleksandr Yevtushok]], [[Viktor Skrypnyk]], [[Serhiy Kovalets]], [[Serhiy Mizin]], [[Andriy Polunin]], [[Serhiy Nahornyak]], [[Volodymyr Sharan]], [[Oleksandr Palyanytsya]].<ref name=stange/> However, just few day before the start of the [[1996–97 Ukrainian Premier League|1996–97]] season in Ukrainian Vyshcha Liha (Higher League), on the joint session of the Professional Football League (PFL) and the Football Federation of Ukraine (FFU), [[FC Arsenal Kyiv|CSKA-Borysfen]] was taken away from its original owners and handed over to Mikhail Grinshpon ("Kiev-Donbass")<ref name=stange/> connected with [[Semion Mogilevich]].<ref>[https://kompromat1.press/articles/104682-otkupitcja_li_grinshpon_ot_nabu Откупится ли Гриншпон от НАБУ?] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230731191647/https://kompromat1.press/articles/104682-otkupitcja_li_grinshpon_ot_nabu |date=31 July 2023 }}. kompromat1.press</ref> With the transfer of Dnipro players falling completely through, players ended up in danger of missing a season.<ref name=stange/>

===Success and downfall===
On 14 May 2015, Dnipro qualified for the [[2015 UEFA Europa League Final]] by defeating [[S.S.C. Napoli|Napoli]] 1–0 in Ukraine after having drawn 1–1 in Italy, the first time in the club's history that it reached the final in a European competition.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/may/14/dnipro-napoli-europa-league-semi-final-second-leg-match-report|title=Dnipro's Yevhen Seleznyov sinks Napoli to seal Europa League final place|date=14 May 2015|work=Guardian|access-date=15 May 2015|archive-date=27 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150527140504/http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/may/14/dnipro-napoli-europa-league-semi-final-second-leg-match-report|url-status=live}}</ref> Despite going up 1–0 in the sixth minute against Spanish side Sevilla, Dnipro eventually lost 3–2.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/32908634|title=Dnipro 2 Sevilla 3|date=28 May 2015|work=BBC Sport|access-date=28 May 2015|archive-date=28 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150528055513/http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/32908634|url-status=live}}</ref> Despite the defeat, the match crowned one of the club's greatest seasons, during which Dnipro had to play all of their home matches some 400 kilometres away in [[Kyiv]] due to the conflict in eastern Ukraine.<ref>{{cite web|title=Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk – Angels amidst War : "During the entire course of the campaign, FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk had to play all of their home matches some 400 kilometres away in Kyiv due to the war.

In late June 2016, there were rumours that club owner [[Ihor Kolomoyskyi]] had stopped funding the club.<ref name="FC Dnipro not bankrupt">{{cite web |url=http://en.interfax.com.ua/news/sport/353587.html |title=Dnipro football team will not be liquidated, but revamped – Kolomoisky |publisher=[[Interfax-Ukraine]] |date=30 June 2016 |access-date=30 June 2016 |archive-date=14 July 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160714205414/http://en.interfax.com.ua/news/sport/353587.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Kolomoyskyi immediately denied this but did state, "The club will not exist in the same form as before;" and that it was "not normal to spend crazy amounts of money" to keep the current squad intact.<ref name="FC Dnipro not bankrupt"/>

The 2016–17 season was disastrous for Dnipro. Due to outstanding debts owed to coach [[Juande Ramos]] and his staff, the FFU prevented Dnipro from signing new players other than free agents. On 26 October 2016, Dnipro was assessed a penalty of 6 points for the same reason. In April 2017, 3 additional points were deducted. At the conclusion of the 2016–2017 season, Dnipro were relegated directly to the [[Ukrainian Second League]] (third level) for the first time in club history.

In the 2017–18 season, the club with a new squad started well in the Group B of the Second League, for 13 matches in row going on high positions (second-fourth places). But the points have been deducted once more with their number reaching up to 18 until the end of the season, which resulted in club finishing on 8th place.

On 7 June 2018, FIFA decided to once more relegate the club and for the [[2018–19 Ukrainian Football Amateur League#Group 3|2018–19 season]] the club was to play
in the [[Ukrainian Amateur Football Championship|Amateur League]].<ref name="dnipra_n565080">{{cite web|url=https://football24.ua/kolomoyskiy_anonsuvav_vidnovlennya_dnipra_n565080|title=Kolomoisky announced the restoration of the Dnieper|publisher=football24.ua|date=21 October 2019|access-date=8 January 2020|language=uk|archive-date=8 March 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210308153709/https://football24.ua/kolomoyskiy_anonsuvav_vidnovlennya_dnipra_n565080/|url-status=live}}</ref> In the [[2019–20 Ukrainian Football Amateur League|2019–20 Amateur League]] the club did not participate.<ref name="dnipra_n565080"/><ref>Yuriy Samotkan.

===Stadiums===
{{Main|Meteor Stadium|Dnipro Arena}}
[[File:Meteor Stadium.jpg|200px|thumb|Old [[Meteor Stadium]]]]

Since 1966, Dnipro's home was [[Meteor Stadium]] in Dnipropetrovsk. Prior to that, the club played at the Metalurh Stadium (formerly Stal Stadium). Meteor Stadium was built by the Soviet rocket company [[Yuzhmash]] on the original site and has undergone several renovations since, the last one being in 2001. In 2002, however, after several spells in European competitions, it became clear that the club needed a new modern venue. Thus, in 2005, Pryvat Group started construction of [[Dnipro-Arena|Dnipro Arena]] in the centre of the city. The club played its last game at Meteor on 2 September 2008, against [[Metalist Kharkiv]].

In April 2005, the club's new arena broke ground. It was constructed by Germany's largest construction company [[Hochtief]]. The construction itself took three years and four months, but a nine-month delay occurred due to a land dispute over a site where the stadium's car park was planned. The stadium's final capacity is 31,003 people and the initial estimated cost of the construction was set at €40 million.

The stadium was opened on 15 September 2008. The opening ceremony featured a speech by [[President of Ukraine|Ukrainian president]] [[Viktor Yushchenko]], a concert performance by a number of famous Ukrainian musicians and two football matches: Veterans of [[FC Dynamo Kyiv|Dynamo Kyiv]] vs. [[FC Spartak Moscow|Spartak Moscow]] veterans, and Dnipro against Dynamo Kyiv. As a gift to the club from the city, the street that the stadium is situated on was renamed into Kucherevskyi Boulevard, in honour of Dnipro's late coach [[Yevhen Kucherevskyi]]. Dnipro played their first official game on 29 September 2008 against their local rivals [[FC Metalurh Zaporizhya|Metalurh Zaporizhya]], but Dnipro lost 1–2. They set a new attendance record for the Ukrainian Premier League [[Ukrainian Premier League 2008–09|2008–09 season]] at 31,000 spectators.

Since the beginning of the [[Russo-Ukrainian War]], Dnipro have played their European matches at the [[Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex|Olympic Stadium]] in [[Kyiv]] at the behest of [[UEFA]], although there has been comparatively less conflict in Dnipropetrovsk than other areas.<ref>{{cite news|title=Dnipro qualifier moved to Kiev|url=https://www.espnfc.com/uefa-champions-league/story/1957894/uefa-orders-dnipro-dnipropetrovsk-to-play-copenhagen-champions-league-game-in-kiev|access-date=15 May 2015|agency=[[Press Association]]|publisher=ESPN|date=23 July 2014|archive-date=23 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150523054847/http://www.espnfc.com/uefa-champions-league/story/1957894/uefa-orders-dnipro-dnipropetrovsk-to-play-copenhagen-champions-league-game-in-kiev|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Supporters and rivalries==
The first fan club in Dnipropetrovsk (today [[Dnipro]]) was officially registered by the city executive committee (ispolkom) on 25 July 1968.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170714084749/http://football.ua/ownshirt/events/160313-pervyjj-klub-bolelshhykov.html Первый клуб болельщиков]. football.ua. 23 March 2012</ref> Before registration, the initiative group brought its draft of the fan's club statute and program to the regional committee of the [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union]], department in control of development and propaganda of physical culture and sport in the region which imposed a resolution of approval with a signature, seal and date. Later the group met with the Dnipro head coach Leonid Rodos and his assistant.

The formation of the fan movement in Dnipropetrovsk began in the early 1980s, which saw the appearance of the first representatives of Dnipro ultras at the stadium. Later was established one of the largest fans unions – the ''Braty po Zbroyi'' ({{langx|en| Brothers in Arms}}) – involving Dnipro, [[FC Dynamo Kyiv|Dynamo Kyiv]] and [[FC Karpaty Lviv|Karpaty Lviv]].

Most of the fans hold right-wing ideological views ([[Ukrainian nationalism]]). Dnipro is considered the third most popular club in Ukraine, and home and away matches are attended by large crowds. The largest Dnipro ultras groups are the ''Voice of the North Stand'' ({{langx|uk|Рупор Північної Трибуни}}) and ''Ultras'83'' ({{langx|uk|Ультрас'}}83).

The most famous derby in eastern Ukraine is the ''Skhidne Derby'' (English: Eastern Derby) between Dnipro and [[FC Metalist Kharkiv|Metalist Kharkiv]]. The game at the stadium is very hard and almost every game ends in a fight between football fans from Dnipropetrovsk and [[Kharkiv]]. There was also a city derby in Dnipropetrovsk between Dnipro and [[FC Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih (1959–2013)|Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih]]. In May 2016, Metalist Kharkiv was removed from Ukraine's professional football leagues.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ffu.org.ua/ukr/ffu/about/ffu_news/15094/ |trans-title=The FFU Appeal Committee decline appeals of Hoverla and Metalist |publisher=[[Football Federation of Ukraine]] |date=16 May 2016 |access-date=16 May 2016 |script-title=uk:Апеляційний комітет ФФУ відхилив апеляції "Металіста" та "Говерли" |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160516130830/http://www.ffu.org.ua/ukr/ffu/about/ffu_news/15094/ |archive-date=16 May 2016 |language=uk }}</ref> Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih is, after its 2013 bankruptcy, an amateur club.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.interfax.co.uk/ukraine-news/fc-kryvbas-launches-bankruptcy-procedure/ |title=FC Kryvbas launches bankruptcy procedure |publisher=[[Interfax-Ukraine]] |date=12 June 2013 |access-date=9 December 2016 |archive-date=16 June 2013 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130616013839/http://www.interfax.co.uk/ukraine-news/fc-kryvbas-launches-bankruptcy-procedure/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{in lang|uk}} [https://web.archive.org/web/20160422200255/http://kryvbas.dp.ua/publ/7-1-0-913 Gen.Director of Kryvbas: The team has marvelous chances to start playing in the PFL already this summer].

==European history==
{{main|FC Dnipro in European football}}
FC Dnipro participates in European competitions since 1984 after playing its first against [[Trabzonspor]]. Since 2001, however, the club participates almost on annual basis with variable successes. This was interrupted in 2016, when, despite finishing third place, Dnipro was forbidden to play in the European competitions by UEFA.
