Sports career
[edit]A pupil of Volyn Lutsk sports school. When Artem was 8, his father signed him up for football section in local sports school.[1] His first coach was Andriy Fedetskyi.[2] In the Ukrainian Youth Football League he played for Shakhtar Donetsk. Also, early in his career Fedetskyi played for amateur club ENKO Lutsk in local Volyn Regional Football League.[3]
His professional football career Fedetskyi started out in Donetsk for Shakhtar. His first professional match took place on 15 September 2002 when Shakhtar-3 was hosting Stal-2 Alchevsk at Shakhtar Stadium in Makiivka. Fedetskyi came out on substitution at the end of the match which by that time was already Shakhtar was ahead of Stal. He replaced Dmytro Kononchenko on 87th minute.
Fedetskyi remained with Shakhtar until 2006 without playing a single match for the first squad and staying with reserves where for a short while he was wearing the captain's band. In 2007 he was loaned to Arsenal Kyiv.[1] With Arsenal Fedetskyi made his debut in the Ukrainian Premier League on 4 March 2007 when Arsenal was visiting Chornomorets Odesa. He played the full match, but the Kyivans lost 0:2. After the spring half, for the 2007–08 season he moved to play for FC Kharkiv. Before going on loan to Kharkiv, the new owner Vadim Rabinovich wanted to buy off Fedetskyi contract, but Shakhtar was agreeing only on loan.[1] To Kharkiv, Fedetskyi went with Oleh Karamushka.[1] While playing for Kharkiv, Fedetskyi scored a hat-trick on 6 April 2008 in an away match against Naftovyk Okhtyrka which Kharkiv won 4:1. It so happened that during that match Fedetskyi was placed by Volodymyr Bezsonov closer to attack while experimenting with good position for him.[1]
In the 2008–09 season, he played for FC Shakhtar Donetsk, returning to Shakhtar from in the 2008 summer transfer season. He barely played any games with 5 matches in UPL, 3 matches in Ukrainian Cup (early stages), and a single match in UEFA Champions League. He also scored once in a home match against Tavriya Simferopol as part of league competitions. Fedetskyi, nonetheless, was still honored as a member of the Shakhtar's winning squad in UEFA Cup and given a state award.[4]
For the three seasons Fedetskyi was loaned out to Karpaty Lviv where he received a regular playtime. The offer came from Oleg Kononov.[1] As a Karpaty player, he also finally made a debut for the Ukraine national football team. In 2010 he also scored his first goals at the continental club's competitions, UEFA Europa League, on 22 July 2010 in home match against KR Reykjavík.
In 2012 Fedetskyi was transferred out to FC Dnipro where he spent another 4 seasons. In 2015 with Dnipro he reached the 2015 UEFA Europa League final where the club lost to Sevilla FC. Following the 2015–16 Ukrainian Premier League Dnipro was barred from European competitions for refusing to pay on its contracts due to situation with the club's owner (Ihor Kolomoyskyi) and the Russo-Ukrainian War in general.
In 2016 Fedetskyi signed with the German SV Darmstadt 98 that recently returned to Bundesliga (after 33 year break) and was struggling to stay at the top tier. With only 7 wins, Darmstadt placed dead last in the 2016–17 Bundesliga and Fedetskyi played in less than half of the matches for the club's senior squad. After the season, he returned to Ukraine signing with Karpaty.
Being 32 years of age, Fedetskyi signed a two-year contract with Karpaty[5] and stayed with them for the next couple of seasons before retiring from professional football. Starting from February 2018 and until 2019 he served as the team's captain of senior squad on regular basis. In 2019 he almost did not play recording only one match in the UPL and the two-leg relegation play-off. In 2019 one of Muscovite clubs offered him a contract with a salary of €2 million per year, but Fedetskyi declined.[6] One of Russian sports reporters Vasily Utkin commented that Fedetskyi was lying about his 2 million euros contract offer.[7]
For 2020–21 season Fedetskyi signed with amateur club Votrans Lutsk.[8]
In August 2023, there was announcement that Fedetskyi would play for FC Kovel in Ukrainian Amateur Cup.[8] FC Kovel was eliminated by FC Trostianets in the first round by a significant margin and Fedetskyi was not on the club's team roster for both matches of the two-leg play-off.[9][10]
