History

Yelimay most recently won the Kazakh league while the Football Federation of Kazakhstan were AFC affiliates. After Kazakhstan switched to UEFA affiliation, Yelimay were relegated to the second-tier Kazakhstan First Division.

After the annex of former Semey Province to East Kazakhstan Province, the city of Semey was no longer a province capital. Thus all financial support from province went to FC Vostok, from Oskemen, the current province capital.
