Contents

Funded in 2014 as ENY Digenis, the team was took over by Yevgeny Savin in 2022, becoming Krasava ENY Ypsonas. In 2025 the team was promoted to Cypriot First Division.

History

The club was founded in 2014 after the merger of Enosi Neon Ypsona and Digenis Akritas Ipsona. Until May 2019, the name of the club was Enosi Neon Ypsona-Digenis, before changing to Ypsonas FC (Greek : Ένωση Νέων Ύψωνα - Διγενής Ύψωνα). [1] In July 2022, blogger and former footballer Yevgeny Savin, previous owner of FC Krasava, bought the club and became the new owner. After interviews with Andriy Yarmolenko, Andriy Voronin and Darijo Srna on the Russo-Ukrainian War, he was threatened with criminal charges and fled to Cyprus. The club later changed their name and adopted a similar logo to Krasava. [2] [3]
