Tavriya was a football club from the city of Simferopol, Crimea. The club was established in 1958 under the title ‘Avanhard’. The first match of the team in the Soviet Championship was against Khimik from Yaroslav. The furthest the team progressed in the Soviet Cup was the semi-final of the season 1980/1981.
Tavriya was one of the founders of the Ukrainian Premier League. The first domestic championship was the most successful one when the team defeated Dynamo Kiev 1-0 in the most important match and claimed the title of the League. One more achievement of the club that should be mentioned is the fact that Tavria competed in every season of the Ukrainian Premier League without dropping in a class.
In 2010 the club clinched one more major trophy - the Ukrainian Cup, beating Metalurh Donetsk in the final.
The home stadium of the team was RSC Lokomotiv that had a capacity of 19,978.
The club was dissolved after the Crimean conflict in 2014.
