History
On 6 October 2020, the club manager Serhiy Lezhentsev was banned from football activity for one year by the Russian Football Union for fielding two unregistered players under false names in a game against FC SKA Rostov-on-Don on 21 September 2020. The club was also fined and a 0–3 loss was assigned to it in a game against SKA.{{cite web|publisher=Russian Football Union|url=https://rfs.ru/news/212413|title=Итоги КДК РФС|trans-title=Control Discipline Committee meeting notes|date=5 October 2020|accessdate=16 November 2020|language=ru}}
In December 2021, due to continuing filing of falsified paperwork and fielding ineligible players, the club was excluded from the professional league and demoted to the fourth tier.{{cite web|publisher=Russian Football Union|url=https://rfs.ru/news/215213|title=Итоги КДК РФС|date=16 December 2021|accessdate=6 June 2022|language=ru}} In February 2022, that decision was reversed on appeal and the club was docked 9 points in the 2021–22 season instead.{{cite web|publisher=Russian Football Union|url=https://rfs.ru/news/215213|title=Итоги заседания апелляционного комитета РФС|date=2 February 2022|accessdate=6 June 2022|language=ru}}
