FC MVD Rossii Moscow
Russian association football club
FC MVD Rossii (Russian: ФК МВД России Москва) is a Russian football club from Moscow, founded in 2007. It represents the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. Historically the ministry was represented by FC Dynamo Moscow, but Dynamo is now not directly dependent on MVD. Still, several players on the 2008 FC MVD roster played for Dynamo or its youth teams in the past. In 2008, FC MVD won the West zone of the Russian Second Division and advanced to the Russian First Division. On July 17, 2009, the team resigned from the Russian First Division (due to financial strait) after playing 19 games.
In 2007 the team was called FC MUVD na VVT Moscow.
Among the club's head coaches were Yuri Kovtun (2008-2009) and Vladimir Eshtrekov (2009).
