Football Club Sochi (Russian: Футбольный клуб Сочи, romanized: Futbolny Klub Sochi), is a Russian professional football club based in Sochi. The club is playing its home matches at the 47,000-capacity Fisht Stadium.

FC Sochi was founded on 4 July 2018 after the relocation of FC Dynamo Saint Petersburg to Sochi, thus becoming the only professional football club in the city.
On 11 May 2019, the club secured a top-two finish in the 2018–19 Russian National Football League and subsequently promotion to the Russian Premier League for the 2019–20 season for the first time in the club's history.
On 20 November 2019, Sochi announced that Aleksandr Tochilin had resigned as manager, with Roman Berezovsky being placed in temporary charge. On 8 December 2019, Sochi announced Vladimir Fedotov as their new permanent manager on a 2+1⁄2-year contract.
On 19 June 2020, Sochi beat FC Rostov 10–1, making it their biggest Premier League win in their history. Rostov missed their full first and second squad (42 players) due to positive COVID-19 tests in both squads.
Sochi managed to finish in twelfth place in their debut season in the top tier, avoiding relegation.
Sochi finished the 2020–21 Russian Premier League season in 5th place and qualified for European competition (UEFA Europa Conference League) for the first time in their history.
In the 2021–22 Russian Premier League, Sochi finished in 2nd place after beating FC Dynamo Moscow away 5–1 on the last matchday of the season and overtaking Dynamo in the standings.
