FC Yelimay (Kazakh: Елімай футбол клубы) is a Kazakh football club based in Semey. A leading club in the early years of the Kazakhstan Premier League, and under the name Yelimay Semipalatinsk (or simply "Yelimay") they were three-time champions of Kazakhstan in 1994, 1995 and 1998. However, they are currently in Premier League.

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.
