FK Krasnodar has won the football championship in Russia for the first time. The runner-up from the previous season defended their top spot in the standings on the final matchday with a 3-0 (0-0) victory against Dynamo Moscow, ahead of defending champion Zenit St. Petersburg. The opening goal, 1-0, was scored by the longtime Bundesliga professional Jhon Cordoba (Mainz, Cologne, Hertha BSC), who has been playing for Krasnodar since 2021.
Krasnodar will not be allowed to participate in the Champions League in the upcoming season due to UEFA sanctions as a result of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. Krasnodar was only founded in 2008, and the club has only been playing in the top league since 2010.
