FC Khimki ( _ru. ФК Химки) is a Russian football club based in Khimki.

History

The team was formed in 1996 by merging two amateur clubs from Khimki, Rodina and Novator. Khimki entered the amateur league and played their first official match on 17 May 1996. Of more than 150 amateur teams in the competition, only champions would be promoted to the Third League. Khimki won the tournament, overcoming Energia Ulyanovsk in the final match in a penalty shootout.

On 30 January 1997 Khimki became a professional football club. In the Third League regional tournament, Khimki finished second and were promoted to the Second League.

Khimki were promoted to the First Division after the 2000 season. They finished first in the "Centre" zone of the Second Division, but lost the promotion play-off to Severstal Cherepovets on away goals. After Severstal refused to play in the First Division, their place was given to Khimki.

In 2005 Khimki had a very good run in the Russian Cup, reaching the final. They lost the final match 0–1 to CSKA.
