FC Torpedo-ZIL Moscow (2003) FC Torpedo-ZIL was a Russian association football club from Moscow. The club, however, should not be confused with the former Russian Premier League club FC Torpedo-ZIL, renamed ""Torpedo-Metallurg"" in 2003 ("the club that later served as a base for the creation of FC Moscow"). It was founded in 2003 under the name FC Torpedo-ZIL and was known as Torpedo-RG Moscow until 2009 when it was renamed back to Torpedo-ZIL. On April 3, 2009, ZiL bought FC Torpedo Moscow from their previous owner, Luzhniki. It was speculated at the time that the two teams could possibly be merged (ZiL was a minority owner in FC Torpedo-ZIL as of early 2009, with majority interest owned by Alexander Mamut). As deadline for 2009 registration passed, FC Torpedo Moscow was not reinstated in the Second Division and Torpedo-ZIL remained the only professional Torpedo for 2009.
