Wat clubs
CSKA Moscow
![]()
CSKA (Central Sports Club of the Army) Moscow. Founded by the Red Army in the early 1920's, the club's most recent accomplishment was the double win of the Premier League and the USSR Cup in 1991, the last Soviet season. Usually referred to as the Red-Blues, the Army guys and the Horses, a derogatory nickname, referring to the club's Army ownership (still in place, despite the professional status). Currently the club plays home matches at the Dinamo Stadium. Usually a big rivalry with Spartak and Dinamo, this season however fully renovated CSKA seems to be determined to leave it's rivals well outside the competition for the top spot.
Lokomotiv Moscow
![]()
Founded by the Moscow railroad and currently owned by the Ministry of Transportation. Traditionally wear red and white, but the colors of the logo and the flag have prompted the nickname Red-Greens. Other monickers are Loko, Railwaymen and the Steam Train. Lokomotiv plays at the spankin' new Lokomotiv Stadium in Cherkizovo, which seats 30,000.
The club has been near a top of the league for a number off years now. But at the last moment always has been beaten by bitter rival Spartak. This season however, things maybe different and soccer gods may finally smile upon Lokomotiv. They sure have all the ingridients
Spartak Moscow
![]()
Known as "The People's Team" or "The Worker's Team". During the days of the Soviet Union, the team won 11 USSR Championships; since then, Spartak has won 7out of 8 Russian titles since the end of the Soviet Union. Russian national team almost entirely based on current and former Spartak players. The club colors are red & white. Spartak plays their home matches in Luzhniki Stadium (85,000 seats, also the home pitch for the Russian national team) with Torpedo Moscow
Dinamo Moscow
![]()
Originally an Interior Ministry (meaning KGB) club, Dinamo (Dynamo) Moscow was founded by the first Chekist chief Felix Dzerzhinskiy. The intimidating origins are not forgotten, as the White-Blues are often referred to as Garbage, a Russian criminal-lingo word for "cops". Dinamo won the first USSR Championship and was the dominant team in the pre-World War II years. Haven't won a League title since 1976, and for that reason now enjoy a slightly older, but still quite extensive fan base. Their ground is the historic Dinamo Stadium in Petrovsky Park, which seats 36,000.
Torpedo Moscow
![]()
Used to belong to the ZIL automobile plant until a fallout in the mid-1990s that resulted in Torpedo leaving their historic ground and moving across town to the Moscow suburb of Luzhniki, as they became property of the Luzhniki corporation. This means they have to play in the monster of a stadium, despite their tiny fan base.
Nicknamed the Black-Whites, Torpedo hasn't won a League titles since the days of Eduard Streltsov, the brilliant striker of the Sixties and Seventies, "the Russian Pele". Streltsov's refusal to play for Dinamo (at the insistence of the KGB) resulted in his imprisonment on trumped-up rape charges. He returned after serving 7 years in labor camps and was still dazzling. His back-heel pass technique is forever known in Russian football as The Streltsov. Currently the main rivals are all the Moscow teams, but especially Lokomotiv
Zenit Saint-Petersburg
![]()
The origins of Russia's most fabled and storied soccer team, Zenit Saint Petersburg, dates back all the way to 1925, when a team was formed consisting of shop collective workers from a Leningrad metallurgical factory. Prior to 1940, the team was not then known by its current moniker, but by the name "Stalinets" (or Stalinist). Having played in the Soviet/Russian "Premier League" since 1938, Zenit has had more than its share of successes throughout the course of history. Zenit's recent triumphs in the modern era include USSR Championship in 1984 and the winning the Russian Federation Cup in 1999.
The Zenit colors of blue, white and sky blue are well known throughout soccer stadiums in Russia and throughout Europe. These colors are the basis for some of the unique Zenit songs and chants, as well as team nicknames (akin to Big Blue, for all you Michigan Wolverine fans-another common nickname is the Sailors). The team's main sponsor is Gazprom.
Alania Vladikavkaz
![]()
The pride and joy of North Ossetiya, their name being the native name of the republic, their colors (red, yellow and white) the colors of the republic's flag, and their badge the republic's seal.
The only club besides Spartak to ever win the (post-Soviet) Russian championship (in 1995).
Er zullen wat meer clubs volgen in dit rijtje en ik zal er wat info bij zetten.
Ik zal ook wekelijks de stand posten zodat we op de hoogte blijven.
Ik wou al eerder een topic over Russisch voetbal maken , maar het kwam er nooit van.
