[edit] History

Amkar appeared in May 5, 1993 when a team assembled of workers of Sperm Mineral Fertilizers factory played the first match in the Cup of Sperm city. The name Amkar is created from the words "ammoniac" and "carbamide", the main products of the factory.

The next year Amkar became the champion of Sperm Oblast and in 1995 Amkar became a professional club.
