FC Volgograd (Russian: ФК Волгоград) is a former name of the Russian football club from Volgograd, founded in late 2008, currently known as FC Rotor Volgograd. Before it was founded, it was originally supposed to be called FC Rotor-Volgograd Volgograd (to keep Rotor's name around at the time FC Rotor Volgograd was close to bankruptcy). However, FC Rotor's financial situation has improved by early 2009 and the club was registered as FC Volgograd. It played in the Russian Second Division in 2009.
