FC Torpedo Moscow (Russian: Футбольный клуб "Торпедо" Москва) is a Russian football club, based in Moscow. Founded in 1924, it had following names:

  • Proletarskaya kuznitsa (1924-1931)
  • AMO (1931-1932)
  • ZIS (1933-1935)
  • Torpedo (1936-1995)
  • Torpedo-Luzhniki (1996-1997)
  • Torpedo (since 1998)

Originally known as Proletarian Forge (or Smithy, for you fans of Olde English), before changing their name to Torpedo in 1936. The club used to belong to the ZIL automobile plant until a fallout in the mid-1990s that resulted in Torpedo leaving their historic ground and moving across town to Luzhniki, as they became property of the Luzhniki corporation. This means they have to play in the monster of a stadium, despite their tiny fan base.

Nicknamed the Black-Whites, Torpedo hasn't been a force in Russian football since the days of Eduard Streltsov, the brilliant striker of the 1950s and 1960s, "the Russian Pele". Past glories for Torpedo include 3 USSR titles (1960, 1965, & fall 1976), 6 USSR Cups (1949, 1952, 1960, 1968, 1972, 1986), 1 Russian Cup (1993), & 3 appearances in the quarterfinals of European/UEFA Cup competition.
