FC Moskva (Russian: Футбольный клуб Москва), is a Russian football club, based in Moscow.

Since 1924, there was a football club in Moscow sponsored by the automobile plant ZIL, called Torpedo Moscow. In the mid-1990s, when Russia was moving towards free market economy, ZIL could no longer afford to sponsor a Premier League team. Torpedo got sold to the company that owns the giant Luzhniki Stadium, and the new owners moved their home games to Luzhniki as well. A few years later ZIL decided to re-create their own team to play at the traditional Torpedo Stadium, and for a while there were two teams named Torpedo in Moscow, Torpedo-Luzhniki and Torpedo-ZIL. In 2003 ZIL sold the team again to a metal producing company, the team's name was changed to Torpedo-Metallurg. In July 2004 the team's ownership got transferred yet again, this time to the Moscow city government, and a new FC Moskva team got created (Moskva means "Moscow" in Russian).
