At the first stage of 2000, Naftovyk Boryslav gained its only win by administrative decision and qualified to the next stage because Tekhno-Tsentr Rohatyn was admitted to Druha Liha (Ukrainian Second League).[2] The new club Naftovyk-SKA-Orbita Lviv at the Second stage placed first among four participants with big goal margin and one loss, which made it qualified to final stage in Chernihiv Oblast. During the final stage Naftovyk-SKA yielded first place to hosting Fakel Varva and for the third place play-off match it lost to Kovel 1:2.

It managed to place third behind Kovel and qualify for the second stage, but instead was admitted to Second League and continued its season at professional level.
