Caspiy Football Club ({{langx|kk|Футбольный клуб «Каспий»}}) is a Kazakhstani football club based at the Zhastar Stadium in Aktau. The club name derived from Caspian Sea ({{langx|kk|Каспий теңізі}}), on whose eastern shore Aktau is located. Their best year was 1996, when they finished 4th in the Premier League and reached the semi-finals of the Kazakhstan Cup. Since 2001, they were stuck in the First Division, until gaining direct promotion to the top division in the 2019 season.
History
From 1979 – 1991, the team played in the Soviet second league. From 1992 onwards, following the breakup of the Soviet Union, they played in the championship of Kazakhstan. The best achievement – the 4th place in 1996.
