There have been several incarnations of football in Presnensky District of 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).
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 1991 and 1992 a separate team acting as a farm club of Asmaral and called FC Presnya Moscow played in the Soviet Second League B and Russian Second Division respectively. It was renamed to FC Asmaral-d Moscow and played under that name in Russian Second Division in 1993 and Russian Third League in 1994-1995.
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.
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 2005, Presnya finished 15 in the West zone. Presnya withdrew from the league in 2006, after playing 10 rounds. In 2003 the club was named Presnya-Burevestnik due to a temporary merger with another Moscow club.
Had international caps for their respective countries.
