Amkar Perm

FC Amkar Perm was originally founded in 1994 as a team representing the Perm Inorganic Fertilizer Company, and it is based in the city of Perm. The club's name derives from parts of the Russian words "AMmiak" (ammonia) and "KARbamid" (carbamide, urea), the main products of the plant, and its red and black colours came from its Italian trade partners in Milan. Amkar was a participant in second-tier football from 1995 and in the Russian Premier League from 2004 to 2018, playing its home matches at the Zvezda Stadium. Its most successful season came in 2008, when it finished fourth in the league and reached the final of the Russian Cup, losing to CSKA Moscow on penalties. The club was dissolved in 2018 and re-established as an amateur club in August 2020 by the Government of the Perm Krai.
