About FC Tosno

FC Tosno was a Russian professional football club based in Tosno, Leningrad Oblast, founded in 2013. The club was created after a merger of local amateur teams and quickly entered the Russian professional league system. In its first season, Tosno competed in the Russian Professional Football League and achieved immediate success, earning promotion to the second tier of Russian football. The club initially played home matches in different stadiums due to infrastructure limitations in its home region.

Tosno rose rapidly through the divisions and reached the Russian Football National League, where it continued to improve its performances. In the 2016–17 season, the club finished second in the league and secured promotion to the Russian Premier League for the first time in its history. This marked a major achievement for a club that had only been founded a few years earlier and established it as one of the fastest-rising teams in Russian football at the time.

The 2017–18 season was Tosno’s only campaign in the Russian Premier League. Although the team struggled in the league and was relegated at the end of the season, it achieved a historic triumph by winning the Russian Cup, defeating Avangard Kursk in the final. However, shortly after this success, the club faced severe financial problems and failed to obtain a UEFA license. As a result, FC Tosno was dissolved in 2018, just five years after its creation.
