FC Tuapse (Russian: ФК «Туапсе») was a Russian football team based in Tuapse. For 2020–21 season, it received the license for the third-tier Russian Professional Football League.[1]
On 6 October 2020, the club manager Serhiy Lezhentsev was banned from football activity for one year by the Russian Football Union for fielding two unregistered players under false names in a game against FC SKA Rostov-on-Don on 21 September 2020. The club was also fined and a 0–3 loss was assigned to it in a game against SKA.[2]
In December 2021, due to continuing filing of falsified paperwork and fielding ineligible players, the club was excluded from the professional league and demoted to the fourth tier.[3] In February 2022, that decision was reversed on appeal and the club was docked 9 points in the 2021–22 season instead.[4]
The club did not receive the license for the 2022–23 season.[5]
