FC Dynamo is one of the oldest and most decorated football clubs in Russia, founded in 1923. The club from Moscow has a rich history and is considered one of the pillars of Russian football. Dynamo is the only club that, together with CSKA, participated in all the USSR championships. During its history, the team has won many trophies, including 11 USSR Champion titles, 6 USSR Cups and the Cup of Russia. Dynamo also became the first Soviet club to participate in an international tournament, playing a series of friendly matches in Great Britain in 1945, which was an important step towards popularizing Soviet football abroad.
In 1936, when the first USSR football Championship was held, Dynamo became its first winner, winning gold medals. This success marked the beginning of the club's dominance in Soviet football. Moreover, Dynamo is the only club that won the first-ever USSR Cup in the same year, becoming a two-time winner of two major national trophies in one season.
