FC Sochi is a professional football club based in Sochi, Russia, competing in the Russian Premier League. Their home matches are held at the Fisht Olympic Stadium, a legacy venue from the 2014 Winter Olympics. Founded in 2018, the club's colors are blue, white, and red. Owned by billionaire Boris Rotenberg and chaired by Dmitry Yakushkin, the team is currently led by a head coach tasked with maintaining top-flight status. The club was formed essentially as a phoenix project after the dissolution of FC Dynamo Saint Petersburg, quickly acquiring a license for the RPL. Their peak era came almost immediately, with a stunning runners-up finish in the 2021/22 RPL season, securing UEFA Champions League qualification behind the goals of star forward Mateo Cassierra. The modern era sees Sochi as a established top-division side, though often engaged in mid-table battles. The club is working to build a strong fanbase in the resort city. FC Sochi's rapid rise from creation to European qualification is one of modern Russian football's most remarkable stories.
