Old talk[edit]
Are you sure the team plays at Torpedo Stadium? Seems this article says they play at Luzhniki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torpedo_Stadium_%28Moscow%29 --Coryma 04:13, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
FC Moscow is being pulled out of the RPL according to Yahoo. 68.107.8.147 (talk) 19:31, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

I suggest moving the page to FC Moscow for the following reasons:
- The more commonly used name.
- Major websites, such as Goal (formerly soccerage) and soccernet, as well as major magazines, such as World Soccer refer to the team as FC Moscow.
- Club's official website is located at fcmoscow.ru
- This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of football (soccer) related page moves. Woodym555 11:28, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
- Comment - 3 hits on UEFA.com for "FC Moscow", 613 for "FC Moskva". So it seems the latter is UEFA's official name for them. ugen64 03:04, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Split[edit]
I searched about whether or not FC Moscow should be considered as the same club as Torpedo-Metallurg, and found the following:
- Yesterday the goverment of Moscow announced the creation of FC Moscow: the new team will be formed on the base of Torpedo-Metallurg. (02 March 2004)
- General Director of FC Moscow Yuri Belous: "All the history with Torpedo is ended. New name would allow the team to became significantly stronger." (02 March 2004)
- From the interview with Yuri Belous: (03 September 2004)
- "During one of my meeting with the Head of "Norilski Nikel" Mikhail Prokhorov, he had an idea to create not only strong Russian, but successful European club."
- -Journalist: Is connection with FC Moscow and its predecessors once and for all broken?
-Belous: No. FC Moscow is a descendant of Torpedo-ZIL and Torpedo-Metallurg. - "The history of FC Moscow is still very short."
So, it seems that FC Moscow is a new team created in 2004 and, therefore, Torpedo-ZIL+Torpedo-Metallurg and FC Moscow should have different articles (like Wimbledon F.C. and Milton Keynes Dons F.C.). Jhony | Talk 14:46, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Done :). I decided to split Torpedo-ZIL and Torpedo-Metallurg articles as well because in 2003, when Tor-Met played in Russian Premier League, another team (now known as Torpedo-RG) named Torpedo-ZIL played in Third Division (i.e. KFK). Jhony | Talk 21:45, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
