Well-known football journalist and commentator **[Konstantin Genich](https://example.com)** has reacted to the news about the closure of the football club “Khimki.” During his playing career, Genich was part of the team from the Moscow region.

“It’s a shame… It’s practically a home club for me. At least I remain the top scorer for ‘Khimki’ in the Russian Cup… Sigh…” Genich wrote on his Telegram channel.

On May 24, the Russian Football Union officially denied the Moscow region club’s application for a license to compete in the upcoming season of the Premier League. On May 28, the Appeals Committee of the RFU rejected the club’s request to allow them to participate in the competitions. On the same day, “Khimki” officially announced that they will miss the 2025/2026 RPL season.
