FC Metallurg Krasnoyarsk (ФК Металлург Красноярск) is a Russian football club based in Krasnoyarsk. The club is currently in the Russian Second Division.

[edit] History

The club was founded as Lokomotiv Krasnoyarsk in 1937 and spent one season in the Class D of Soviet league. In 1957 the club was reinstated under the same name and entered the Far East zone of Class B. In 1968 Lokomotiv was renamed Rassvet, in 1970 Avtomobilist. In 1991 the club received its present name, Metallurg.

Metallurg (or their predecessors) never played in the Soviet Top League or Russian Premier League. Their best result in Soviet League was a 2nd position in Group 7 of Class B in 1959, while their best result in Russian history was the 9th position in Russian First Division in 2001. Since the inception of Russian football, Metallurg suffered four relegations to the Second Division, latest in 2006.
