FC Alania Vladikavkaz (Russian: "Алания" (Владикавказ), Ossetian: Футболон клуб "Алани" (Дзæуджыхъæу)) is a Russian football team from Vladikavkaz. Founded in 1921, the club played in the Soviet Top League during the communist era, and won its first and only league title in the 1995 Russian Top League.

Background

Since the Russian football league system was established in 1992, the main team representing

Russian Professional Football League season, the team was financed by the provincial government and played as Spartak. Before the 2019–20 season, a new team, privately owned and called FC Alania was organized and licensed for PFL. However, FC Spartak also remained in the league for 2019–20, even though many players and coaches moved to the "new Alania".[1]

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in Russia, 2019–20 Russian Football National League season was abandoned and none of the teams were relegated. After the licensing, the league had 23 teams eligible for the 2020–21 season. Having an odd number of teams would mean one team would get a bye on each matchday and the league preferred to have an even number of teams, therefore it invited PFL teams to apply for the license. Out of the teams that applied, on 24 July 2020 Alania was selected by the Russian Football Union for promotion to FNL.[2] On 15 May 2021, they secured a 4th place in the FNL which would normally qualify the club for Russian Premier League promotion playoffs. Alania failed to receive a Premier League license due to unacceptable condition of their stadium and therefore the playoffs were cancelled.[3][4] In the 2022–23 Russian First League season, Alania secured 3rd position, again qualifying for the promotion play-offs, only to fail RPL licensing once again due to still-not-reconstructed stadium.[5]
