Editing FC Dnipro (section)

==Supporters and rivalries==
The first fan club in Dnipropetrovsk (today [[Dnipro]]) was officially registered by the city executive committee (ispolkom) on 25 July 1968.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170714084749/http://football.ua/ownshirt/events/160313-pervyjj-klub-bolelshhykov.html Первый клуб болельщиков]. football.ua. 23 March 2012</ref> Before registration, the initiative group brought its draft of the fan's club statute and program to the regional committee of the [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union]], department in control of development and propaganda of physical culture and sport in the region which imposed a resolution of approval with a signature, seal and date. Later the group met with the Dnipro head coach Leonid Rodos and his assistant.

The formation of the fan movement in Dnipropetrovsk began in the early 1980s, which saw the appearance of the first representatives of Dnipro ultras at the stadium. Later was established one of the largest fans unions&nbsp;– the ''Braty po Zbroyi'' ({{langx|en| Brothers in Arms}})&nbsp;– involving Dnipro, [[FC Dynamo Kyiv|Dynamo Kyiv]] and [[FC Karpaty Lviv|Karpaty Lviv]].

Most of the fans hold right-wing ideological views ([[Ukrainian nationalism]]). Dnipro is considered the third most popular club in Ukraine, and home and away matches are attended by large crowds. The largest Dnipro ultras groups are the  ''Voice of the North Stand'' ({{langx|uk|Рупор Північної Трибуни}}) and ''Ultras'83'' ({{langx|uk|Ультрас'}}83).

The most famous derby in eastern Ukraine is the ''Skhidne Derby'' (English: Eastern Derby) between Dnipro and [[FC Metalist Kharkiv|Metalist Kharkiv]]. The game at the stadium is very hard and almost every game ends in a fight between football fans from Dnipropetrovsk and [[Kharkiv]]. There was also a city derby in Dnipropetrovsk between Dnipro and [[FC Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih (1959–2013)|Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih]]. In May 2016, Metalist Kharkiv was removed from Ukraine's professional football leagues.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ffu.org.ua/ukr/ffu/about/ffu_news/15094/ |trans-title=The FFU Appeal Committee decline appeals of Hoverla and Metalist |publisher=[[Football Federation of Ukraine]] |date=16 May 2016 |access-date=16 May 2016 |script-title=uk:Апеляційний комітет ФФУ відхилив апеляції "Металіста" та "Говерли" |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160516130830/http://www.ffu.org.ua/ukr/ffu/about/ffu_news/15094/ |archive-date=16 May 2016  |language=uk }}</ref> Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih is, after its 2013 bankruptcy, an amateur club.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.interfax.co.uk/ukraine-news/fc-kryvbas-launches-bankruptcy-procedure/ |title=FC Kryvbas launches bankruptcy procedure |publisher=[[Interfax-Ukraine]] |date=12 June 2013 |access-date=9 December 2016 |archive-date=16 June 2013 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130616013839/http://www.interfax.co.uk/ukraine-news/fc-kryvbas-launches-bankruptcy-procedure/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{in lang|uk}} [https://web.archive.org/web/20160422200255/http://kryvbas.dp.ua/publ/7-1-0-913 Gen.Director of Kryvbas: The team has marvelous chances to start playing in the PFL already this summer].
