History

The club has been known under different names:

  • 2015–2016: FC Volga-Olimpiyets Nizhny Novgorod
  • 2016–2018: FC Olimpiyets Nizhny Novgorod
  • 2018–2022: FC Nizhny Novgorod[4]
  • Since 2022: FC Pari Nizhny Novgorod

In the 2015–16 season, it began to play in the third-tier Russian Professional Football League. It was founded as a farm club for FC Volga Nizhny Novgorod. On 15 June 2016, the parent club Volga was dissolved, with Olimpiyets becoming the top club in Nizhny Novgorod.[5] At the end of the 2016–17, Olimpiyets won their PFL zone and were promoted to the second-level Russian Football National League. At the end of the 2018–19 season, they qualified for the Russian Premier League promotion play-offs, but lost to PFC Krylia Sovetov Samara with an aggregate score of 2–3.

In the 2020–21 season, the club finished 3rd in FNL. As the second-placed club FC Orenburg failed to receive a Premier League license due to issues with their stadium, Nizhny Novgorod was promoted to the RPL for the very first time for the 2021–22 season.[6][7]

Former Nigeria striker Sylvester Igboun suspended his contract with the team because of the 2022 Russia invasion of Ukraine.[8]

On 10 June 2022, the club announced that the name of the club will be changed to FC Pari Nizhny Novgorod (or Pari NN for short) due to a sponsorship deal with a bookmaker Pari, previously known as Paribet.[9][10] The name change was approved by the Russian Football Union on the same day.[11] Pari NN finished the 2022–23 season in 14th place, qualifying for relegation play-offs against FC Rodina Moscow.[12] After winning the first leg of the play-offs away with the score of 3–0, Pari lost 0–2 at home and won 3–2 on aggregate, retaining their Premier League spot.[13]
