Its administrative centre was located at the urban-type settlement of Sofiivka. The raion was abolished on 18 July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast to seven. The area of Sofiivka Raion was merged into Kryvyi Rih Raion.[1][2] The last estimate of the raion population was 20,562 (2020 est.)[3].
