The Russian Football National League is the second division of football in the Russian Football League system. What might make that slightly confusing is the fact that the third division is called the Second Division. Regardless, the National League is the league beneath the top-flight when it comes to football in the motherland.<\/p>\n

On this page, however, we\u2019ll tell you a little bit more about the league than simply where sits on the Russian Football League ladder.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll also tell you about its history, the sort of stadiums you can expect to find if you go to watch football there, and also how the league itself works.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The smallest football ground currently in operation and occupied by a professional team is the Spartak Stadium in Novosibirsk, home of FC Sibir Novosibirsk, which can fit 12,500 people inside it.<\/p>\n

A large proportion of the other grounds can host over 20,000 fans, so you\u2019re not going to be disappointed if you decided to go and watch a few matches.<\/p>\n

When it comes to style, you\u2019ll find a number of different stadium designs being used by Russian Football National League teams. The Russian Football League system is fluid, so you\u2019ll often find teams from the top-flight will drop down when they\u2019re relegated.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not unusual for bigger teams to have the bowl-style grounds that are common on the continent, whilst smaller teams tend to have grounds more typically associated with English clubs.<\/p>\n\r\n \r\n \r\n
