The club was founded in 2007 as FC Zorya in the ethnically Bulgarian village of Zorya that was founded in 1831 by resettlers from Bulgaria which is located on the Balkan peninsula.[1]

In the first year of the founding of the club managed to take second place in the championship of Sarata Raion. Between 2008–2011, Balkany became Champions of the Raion, also winning the cup and tournaments. In 2011, the team Odesa Oblast cup with the winning goal was scored by Oleksandr Raychev thereby winning the right to build a stadium in the urban-type settlement of Sarata. The following year began the construction of the stadium with two standard fields with grass.[2] The ground is now named after former footballer from Zorya Boris Tropaneț as the Borys Tropanets Stadium.
