Before the 2018–19 season, Amkar Perm had their Russian Premier League license recalled due to debts. As a consequence, Anzhi Makhachkala was returned to the Premier League to take Amkar's spot, after the 2018–19 second-tier Russian Football National League calendar was already set. FC Krasnodar-2 received an emergency invitation for a promotion into the FNL and was officially admitted into the league on 26 June 2018 to take Anzhi's spot.[2] Krasnodar-2 was relegated at the end of the 2022–23 season.[3]
