as Khimik Kalush and in the Soviet competitions competed at regional level and KFK (amateur level). The club was reestablished in place of previously existed Polish club at the chemical plant
TESP that also was overtaken by Soviets. Khimik Kalush also was associated with the Soviet chemical and metallurgical association "Khlorvinil" that was expanded in 1961.
At KFK level the club competed until 1995, when as Khimik entered the
Druha Liha. Its main sponsor "Khlorvinil" was reorganized as a state enterprise "Oriana". Later in 1995, Khimik renamed themselves to FC Kalush.

created a joint venture "Lukor". In 2001 the club also renamed themselves to FC LUKOR Kalush and the new sponsorship immediately improved the status of the club. In 2002 Lukor already announced about its financial instability and filed for bankruptcy. In the next season the club won the
Druha Liha 2002–03 Group A championship. However, at the end of the season the club was bought out by neighboring club
FC Prykarpattya Ivano-Frankivsk and they were subsequently renamed and made into a reserve club.
The club renamed again to FC Spartak-2 Ivano-Frankivsk in 2004 and later in that year they were dissolved.
The club reformed in 2006 and played at the
Amateur level.
On 17 January 2014, Lukor Kalush filed for bankruptcy and its liquidation.
