Know the opposition
Football Club Rostov (Russian: Футбольный клуб Ростов, and nicknamed Selmashi or Zholto-Sinie - Yellow-Blues) is a Russian professional football club based in Rostov-on-Don, Rostov Oblast - playing in the Russian Premier League. Rostov was established in on 10 May 1930 as the team of the Rostelmash factory, and was initially named Selmashstroy (Сельмашстрой). They were renamed Selmash in 1936 and Traktor in 1941. In 1953 they became Torpedo before the name Rostselmash was taken up five years later. They stuck with that until 2003 when FC Rostov was introduced. Until the club's Russian Cup win in 2014 - defeating FC Krasnodar on penalties, Rostov had won no top division titles or major domestic cups - narrowly losing the Russian Cup final to Spartak Moscow in 2003. In recent years, Rostov have built a sturdy reputation under Kurban Berdyev and Ivan Daniliants - building a competitive squad on a strict budget. Rostov play their home games at the Olimp-2.
