[edit] History
There have been several incarnations of football in the Presnya district of Moscow.
[edit] 1920s – Krasnaya Presnya and Tryokhgorka
- See also: FC Spartak Moscow
In 1922 a stadium was built at the Presnya Gate and a team was formed to play in it. Originally called MKS (Russian: МКС, Московский кружок спорта), the team was soon renamed Krasnaya Presnya ("Red Presnya"). There was no national championship in Russia and USSR at the time, and Krasnaya Presnya played in the Moscow league, winning it in 1923 (spring) and 1924 (spring). In 1925 the team was renamed Pishcheviki and moved to another stadium, eventually becoming what is now known as Spartak Moscow.
After Krasnaya Presnya moved, another team, Tryokhgorka, emerged at Presnya. This team existed in 1926-1930 and won the Moscow championship in 1927 (spring), 1929 (autumn), and 1930 (spring).
[edit] 1980s and 1990s – Krasnaya Presnya and Asmaral
In 1978 a new team called Krasnaya Presnya was formed. It played in the Soviet Second League. Krasnaya Presnya was intended to provide experience for young Moscow players. Some famous footballers like Alexandr Mostovoi and Sergey Rodionov have played for Krasnaya Presnya. Georgi Yartsev and Oleg Romantsev have been the managers of the team. In 1986 the team won the regional tournament of the Second League.
In 1990, after relegation from the Second League, the club became a private company named Asmaral and owned by an Iraqi-British businessman Husam Al-Khalidi. In 1990 Asmaral were promoted to the Second League and won their group in 1991, earning the right to enter the newly formed Russian Top Division in 1992. In 1992 the club achieved their best result in history, finishing 7th in the top flight.
In the following years, Asmaral suffered a number of relegations: from the Top Division in 1993, from the First Division in 1995, and from the Second Division in 1996. Thanks to the reorganization of the league system, Asmaral entered the Second Division in 1998 but were relegated again. The team spent the 1999 season in the amateur league and have not played in 2000.
[edit] 2000s – Presnya
In 2001 the club named Presnya was organized again. They played in the Amateur football league until winning their group in 2004 and receiving promotion to the Second Division. In 2003 the club was named Presnya-Burevestnik due to a temporary merger with another Moscow club.
