Akademiya (Russian: "Академия") was a Russian association football club from Tolyatti, Russia. The club was founded in 1991 as a result of the merger between Energiya (Энергия) and Lada-Simbirsk (Лада-Симбирск). Before the 2010 season, two teams from Tolyatti, FC Togliatti and FC Lada Togliatti, were excluded from the professional leagues, with FC Akademiya representing Tolyatti at the time.
History
It was founded in 1991 under the name "Lada". In 1997-1998 it was renamed "Lada-Grad", in 1999 — "Lada-Simbirsk". In 2000, the club was merged with the Energia Ulyanovsk team under the name Lada-Energia. In 2003-2007, it was called "Lada-SOK" and "Krylia Sovetov-SOK". After the 2007 season, the players and coaching staff moved to the newly formed FC Tolyatti, and in early 2010 there was a merger with FC Tolyatti, and the team finally moved to the Samara region. All football players of FC Akademiya were trained at the football center Konoplyov football academy.[1]
Until 2010, the team represented Dimitrovgrad. In 2013, the club and the Konoplev Academy became part of the Samara "Krylia Sovetov Samara".[2] In 2015, the club was merged with the youth team of FC Lada-Tolyatti, and given a new name "Academy-Lada-M". Since the 2015 season, the club has been playing in the third division of the MFS Privolzhye.[3]
