About PFC Sochi

PFC Sochi is a Russian professional football club based in the city of Sochi. The club was founded in 2018 following the relocation of FC Dynamo Saint Petersburg, and it immediately became the city’s main professional team. Sochi plays its home matches at the Fisht Olympic Stadium, which was originally built for the 2014 Winter Olympics and later adapted for football use.

After its formation, the club quickly progressed through the Russian football system. In its first season, Sochi earned promotion to the Russian Premier League for the 2019–20 campaign. The team established itself as a competitive side in the top division within a short time, benefiting from strong management and investment, and gradually improving its league performances.

In the early 2020s, PFC Sochi achieved its strongest period, highlighted by a second-place finish in the Russian Premier League in the 2021–22 season and qualification for European competition. The club also participated in the UEFA Europa Conference League. However, in later seasons, Sochi experienced fluctuations in form, including relegation and promotion battles, reflecting the challenges of maintaining consistency in the top tier of Russian football.
