FK Yenisey Krasnoyarsk (ФК Енисей Красноярск) is a Russianfootball club based inKrasnoyarsk, inKrasnoyarsk Krai. The club plays in theRussian First League.
The club was founded in 1937 asLokomotiv Krasnoyarsk and spent one season in Class D of the Soviet league. In 1957 the club was re-formed and entered theFar East zone of Class B. In 1968 Lokomotiv was renamedRassvet and, in 1970,Avtomobilist. In 1991 it becameMetallurg, a title it held until February 2010 when it was renamedMetallurg-Yenisey (formally, Metallurg was excluded from the league and a new independent club Metallurg-Yenisey was admitted into the league).[1] In 2011, the club was renamed toYenisey.[2] The club is named after theYenisei river, on whichKrasnoyarsk is located.
Yenisey (or their predecessors) never played in theSoviet Top League orRussian Premier League until2018. Their best result in Soviet League was a 2nd position in Group 7 of Class B in 1959, while their best result in Russian history is the 3rd position inRussian National Football League in 2016–17 and 2017–18. Since the end of the Soviet Union, the club has suffered relegation to theSecond Division on five occasions, most recently in 2006. In the 2015–16 season, Yenisey took 16th spot in the FNL and should have been relegated, but one of the third-tierRussian Professional Football League zone winners,FC Smena Komsomolsk-na-Amure, refused to be promoted due to lack of financing, and Yenisey stayed in the FNL.[3] At the end of the 2016–17 season, Yenisey reached theRussian Premier League promotion play-offs, but lost toFC Arsenal Tula on away goals rule (2–1 at home, 0–1 away) and stayed in the FNL. Despite spending a portion of the next 2017–18 season in the top-two direct-promotion spot, by the end of the season Yenisey dropped into 3rd position and qualified for promotion play-offs again.[4] They defeatedFC Anzhi Makhachkala 6–4 on aggregate in the promotion play-offs and were promoted to theRussian Premier League for the 2018–19 season for the first time in the team's history.
They were relegated back to the second tier after one year in the Premier League.
Yenisey ended the 2022–23 season in 4th place in the First League and qualified for the promotion play-offs.[5] Yenisey lost 0–3 on aggregate in the playoffs toFakel Voronezh and remained in the First League.[6]
