Soviet League
In 1989, the football club 'Jaykhun' was founded in Urgench. It replaced 'Khanki' (Xonqa), another team from the Khorazm Region, in the Soviet Second League.
The team was unsuccessful in the first round under the leadership of Oleg Bugaev. However, the situation changed after the arrival of the experienced specialist Valeriy Vasilenko, who saved 'Jaykhun' from relegation. The club finished the season in 16th place.
In 1990, Zakhidulla Sanatulov took over as head coach. But the club continued to play poorly and in September, Sanatulov was replaced by Yuriy Gordeyev. In the last rounds he managed to improve their position and the team finished in 17th place.
In 1991, the club changed its name to 'Kuruvchi'. The team was led by local expert Allabergen Matniyazov, but the season ended in failure and the club finished last in the league.
Uzbek League
1993-1996
In 1993, the club was renamed 'Dynamo' and transferred to the jurisdiction of OVD Khorazm. In the same season, the club became champion of the Khorazm Region and earned the right to take part in the transitional tournament against the winners of the other regional leagues.
From their result in the transitional tournament, the club did not qualify for the first league. However, the leader of the Uzbekistan Football Association had a meeting with the Khorazm team and allowed them to compete in the sub-elite division. This meant that 'Dynamo' became the first club in Khorazm's history to compete in the Uzbekistan Pro League. In 1994, the team was led by its famous former coach Valeriy Vasilenko.
In the very first match, which took place on the 9th April 1994, the dynamos beat the Chirchiq team 'Kimyogar'. The final score was 2-1.
Their first home match took place on the 23rd April at the Olympia stadium against 'Mebelchi', Yangiyo'l. The match was not very successful for the hosts. They were losing for most of the game, and only scored in the final seconds, ending the game with a score of 1-1.
Their first home win was gained in the next round (26 April). In the match against the Jizzakh team, 'Yigiruvchi', the only goal was scored by Viktor Lukyanova, leading Xorazm to win 1-0. This result allowed Dynamo to move up to 5th place in the results table after four rounds.
Following on from this, the team's fate was not so successful. The Dynamos performed performed unremarkably in the remaining matches and the team finished the first round in second last place with a total of nine points.
The depressing results forced the club leadership to strengthen their line-up and invite in a few experienced players. Among them were Vali Sultanov, Pavel Kaigorodov, Arsen Grigoryan, and Vladimir Merezhko.
