Summary

In preparation for the 2018 season the organization selected Denys Yanchuk as the general manager, while Samad Kadirov returned to manage the team.[2] The club continued in recruiting imports from the Ukrainian football market, while retaining their core veterans from the previous season.[3] Their sophomore year within the league produced another successful season by finishing second in the First Division with only a goal differential with FC Ukraine United to separate them from clinching the title.[4] In the opening round of the postseason Vorkuta defeated Real Mississauga, and then followed by a victory over SC Waterloo Region to place them in the championship final.[5] In the finals Vorkuta faced Scarborough SC, and made club history by winning their first CSL Championship in a 6-5 victory in a penalty shootout.[1]

Meanwhile in the Second Division their reserve team clinched the organization's first division title, and made further history after winning the championship title against Halton United.
