Russian Premier League

The Russian Premier League (Russian: Российская футбольная премьер-лига) is the top division of Russian football. There are 16 teams in the competition. At the end of the season two teams are relegated to the Russian First Division and replaced with the two top First Division teams. The Russian Premier League was organized in 2001 and succeeded the Top Division, the difference being that the Top Division was run by the Professional Football League of Russia, and the creation of the Premier League gave the clubs a greater degree of independence. FC Rubin Kazan are the current Russian Premier League champions.

Incl. Rus. Top League and Rus. Top Division titles

History After the break-up of the Soviet Union, starting in 1992, each former Soviet republic organized an independent national championship. In Russia, the 6 Russian teams who had played in the Soviet Top League in 1991 (CSKA Moscow, Spartak Moscow, Torpedo Moscow, Dinamo Moscow, Spartak Vladikavkaz, and Lokomotiv Moscow) were supplemented with 14 teams from lower divisions to organize a 20-team Russian Top Division. The Top Division was further divided into two groups to reduce the total number of matches. The number of teams in the Top Division was gradually reduced to 18 in 1993 and 16 in 1994. Since then, the Russian Top Division (and subsequently the Premier League) has consisted of 16 teams, except for a short-lived experiment with having two more teams in 1996 and 1997. Spartak Moscow was the dominant force in the Top Division, winning 9 of the first 10 titles. Spartak-Alania Vladikavkaz was the only team which managed to break Spartak's dominance, winning the Top Division title in 1995.

Lokomotiv Moscow won the title twice, and CSKA Moscow three times. In 2007, Zenit Saint Petersburg climbed to the top. Zenit won the title for the first time. They had also won a Soviet title in 1984.

Competition Teams play each other twice, once at home and once away, for a total of 30 matches. Three points are awarded for a win, one for a draw, and none for a loss. If teams are level on points, the tie-breakers are the number of wins, then the goal difference, followed by several others. If the teams are tied for the first position, the tie-breakers are the number of wins, then head-to-head results. If the teams tied for the first place cannot be separated by these tie-breakers, a championship play-off is ordered. As of 2008, the champions qualify for the UEFA Champions League group stage, as well as the runners-up. The third-placed team qualifies for the Champions League 2nd qualifying round. The fourth- and fifth-placed teams qualify for the newly named UEFA Europa League. The bottom two teams are relegated to the First Division.

Russian Premier League match between Zenit and Dynamo (the last Zenit's match on the Kirov Stadium, stadium had been already partially demolished)

Unlike other European football leagues, the league typically runs in summer, from March to November, to avoid playing games under the cold and snowy weather in winter.
