Amkar Perm is a Russian football club with a storied past, currently competing in the third-tier Russian Professional Football League, Zone A (RUS D3A), following its revival. The club is based in Perm and historically played at the Zvezda Stadium. Originally founded in 1994, Amkar's traditional colors are red and black. The club's name is derived from the chemical compounds ammonia and urea, reflecting its original sponsorship ties. Amkar's peak era was its sustained spell in the Russian Premier League from 2004 to 2018, where it established a reputation as a tough, defensively superb side that regularly challenged for European places and reached the Russian Cup final in 2008. Financial collapse led to the club's dissolution in 2018, but it was resurrected by fans and now climbs back from the depths. The modern Amkar, playing in the third division, is a symbol of resilience, powered by fan ownership and a desire to restore past glories. The squad is a mix of local veterans and hungry young players. The club's passionate fan base, the "Red-Blacks", remain its driving force. Amkar Perm's story is one of dramatic rise, heartbreaking fall, and a determined rebirth.
