FC Moscow pulls out of Russian league
February 5, 2010
MOSCOW (AP) -FC Moscow has pulled out of the Russian league a month before the start of the season because of financial problems and lack of sponsorship.
The club is owned by Russian metals giant Norilsk Nickel and run by a subsidiary, Sports Projects. The subsidiary said Friday that it could not justify investing in Moscow.
There was no immediate reaction from the Professional Football League, which runs the Russian top flight. The club exceeded expectations last season, losing out on a top-three finish in the last few games.
The Russian league season runs from mid-March through the summer.
