«The club history is a very simple.
Historically, the stadium where we
were doing reconstruction belonged
to Kolomyagi football club, founded
in 1907, there are historical
documents to prove that. We did not
come with it, and attached to the
historic district of Saint Petersburg -
Kolomyagi. » General Director of the

Kolomyagi Football Club has a rich history. Since its foundation in 1907, the club got
many honorary titles and cups. Today, the club is reviving thanks to efforts of the
Rosenberg brothers, who were able to convince future shareholders to restore the
tradition and build a modern sports complex "Kolomyagi-sport". In recent history,
the club managed to reach the highest division of the championship of St.
Petersburg, holding the top places in the championship of the city and in
international competitions. In 2010, FC "Kolomyagi" came under the patronage of
the government, becoming a branch of football at the Governmental educational
institution, boarding school "Olympic Hopes" («Олимпийские Надежды»).
Currently, the school trains over 500 boys aged 5 to 17 years, most of them
regularly participate in major sport events, starting from the city championships in
football (top group) and mini-football and ending with international tournaments,
taking place abroad - KOLOMYAGI CUP, HELSINKI CUP, NORWAY CUP, SCANDIC-
CUP, RIGA-CUP and many others.
