Krasnaya Armiya

Current Form
The team is aiming to secure promotion to the Gold Division by the end of this season, but achieving this goal will be quite challenging.

At the start of the current season, the club has recorded seven wins and three losses. At this stage, the Red Army is sitting second in the standings, trailing Dynamo-Shinnik by four points and with two games in hand.
