BC Kharkivski Sokoly (Ukrainian: Харківські Соколи; English: Kharkiv Falcons) is a Ukrainian basketball club based in Kharkiv. Founded in 2017,[1] the team made its debut in the Ukrainian Basketball Superleague in 2019.

History

Founded in 2017, Sokoly entered the Ukrainian Higher League, the country's second-tier league. In its first two seasons, the team finished 6th and 9th. After the 2018–19 season, Kharkiv based BC Politekhnik left the SuperLeague as it could not give financial guarantees.[2] Instead, Sokoly received a spot for the 2019–20 campaign.[3]

In July 2023 Aleksey Ivanovich Zolotous agreed with the club's management and will lead the "Kharkiv Falcons" in the 2023/2024 season during performances in the Higher League of Ukraine.
