History
editIt was founded in 2019 as a senior squad of a pre-existing youth academy. For 2019–20 season, it received the license for the third-tier Russian Professional Football League.[1]
The club finished 4th in the 2021 Korantina Homes Cup International football tournament in Pafos, Cyprus, having been runners up in 2019.[2][3]
On 30 May 2022, Rodina secured promotion to Russian First League.[4]
In their first season in the second tier, Rodina secured 5th place. As 3rd-placed Alania Vladikavkaz failed to obtain the 2023–24 Russian Premier League license, that qualified Rodina for the promotion play-offs.[5][6] After losing the first leg of the play-off series at home to FC Pari Nizhny Novgorod with the score of 0–3, Rodina went up 2–0 in the away second leg by the 24th minute of the game. No more goals were scored in the game and Rodina lost 2–3 on aggregate.[7]
