Team Info
FC Anzhi Makhachkala is a Russian football club from the Republic of Dagestan, famously known for its brief but spectacular era of massive spending in the early 2010s. Based in Makhachkala, they played at the Anzhi Arena. Founded in 1991, the club's name means "pearl" in the Kumyk language. Anzhi's history changed dramatically in 2011 when billionaire Suleyman Kerimov invested heavily, bringing global stars like Samuel Eto'o and Roberto Carlos to the North Caucasus. This period saw them finish 3rd in the Russian Premier League in 2013 and reach the UEFA Europa League Round of 16. However, the project was scaled back drastically shortly after, leading to relegations and financial struggles. Today, Anzhi competes in the Russian Second League, focusing on youth development. The club remains a symbol of ambition and the complexities of modern football finance, with a resilient local fanbase.
