We reached the final of the Cup, showcasing our skill and determination. During the season, Favorit returned to our home stadium for crucial matches.

The season 2025 has come to an end, and Favorit finished in third place. Despite not clinching the top spot, it was a good season overall. The favorite only lost to the first and second place teams, demonstrating our competitiveness throughout the year.

RIP Viktor Shustikov 🙏

We are in Khimki for Torpedo Moscow (First League) v Kuban-Holding from Pavlovskaya stanitsa (Second League B). Guests - the lowest ranked team remaining in the Regions Path of the Russian Cup. Up for the Cup! #Groundhopping #MoskvaPetushkiBlog

@Le1cestersh1re No, Holding have no link to FC Kuban. "Kuban Holding" is a farming company. So, it isn't a state club, rare thing for Russia.

@Le1cestersh1re Well, new stadium will be opened next season, (maybe) it's not so bad for Russian reality. Torpedo fans are angry with artificial pitch. It was said that it will be grass, but something went wrong... Big Moscow club with history and 3G pitch. Blimey.

@Le1cestersh1re They have regular ultras. Unfortunately, away stand was closed today (why????). Only one stand. Ultras, families with kids and even Kuban-Holding fans were in the same stand (I though a brawl can start between Torpedo and Holding fans surely at one moment. Risky!😁).

@Le1cestersh1re Well, Torpedo traditionally has a small fan base (if we compare to Spartak, CSKA, Dynamo and Lokomotiv). However, their fans are very loyal (I noticed today they watched all the game nervously, no using smartphones during the match or something like that).
