FC Lada Togliatti (women)

For its eight first seasons in the top category, Lada ranked mainly between the 3rd[clarification needed] and 6th spots, and reached the national Cup semifinals four times.

[1] In its only appearance in the UEFA Women's Cup in 2005 Lada reached the second stage, where it was knocked out by Brøndby IF and Arsenal FC.

That same year Lada won the Italy Women's Cup, an international tournament organized by the Italian LND, by beating Torres CF in the final.

[citation needed] 2006 marked the beginning of the end for Lada as the team was demoted to the third category.

Lada was back in top-flight two years later, but retired from the competition three weeks before the end of the tournament and folded.
