The new Kryvbas played its first game against FC Cherkashchyna as part of the 2020–21 Ukrainian Cup and won it 4:2. The game had several spectators[13] and was visited by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.[14] During the game some fans spread a banner with a saying "Zelensky three, two, one, shames our Kryvbas".[15][16][17]
