FC Torpedo Moscow

FC Torpedo Moscow (Russian: ФК "Торпедо" Москва, FK Torpedo Moskva) is a football club, based in Moscow, Russia. The club was founded in 1924. On 19 March 2009, it was denied membership of the Professional Football League (the organization that conducted the competition in the Russian First Division and Russian Second Division) and did not play in the professional competitions in 2009. On 3 April 2009, representatives of the new owner of FC Torpedo Moscow, ZiL, appealed that decision. As the deadline for 2009 registration passed, FC Torpedo Moscow was not reinstated in the Second Division and Torpedo-ZIL remained the only professional Torpedo for 2009. Torpedo Moscow won the Moscow Region of Amateur Football League in 2009. On 22 December 2009, Torpedo passed licensing and played in the Russian Second Division in 2010 (Zone Center). They beat Gubkin 1–0 at home on 30 October 2010, and became champions of Zone Center of Second Division in the 2010 season. This meant Torpedo was promoted to Russian First Division after three seasons with making two successive promotions. In the 2013-14 season Torpedo finished 3rd in the Russian First Division and qualified for the promotion play off where they were vying for promotion to the Russian Premier League. They faced Krylya Sovetov Samara in the play offs. Torpedo won the first leg with goals from Alexander Salugin and Oleg Vlasov which meant they took a 2-0 lead going into the away leg. The second leg finished 0-0 meaning Torpedo won 2-0 on aggregate and won promotion whilst Krylya were relegated to the First Division.
