Zenit (sports society)

Zenit (sports society)

: "For other uses, see Zenit (disambiguation)."Zenit ( _ru. Зенит; English:Zenith) was the All-Union Voluntary Sports Society for workers of arms industry, established in 1936. Due to reorganization of sports societies, between 1957 and 1966 physical culture collectives of Zenit were a part of VSS Trud from the Russian SFSR, and other republican sports societies. In 1966 Zenit again became a separate VSS. In the 1970s Zenit had about 1,000 large sports constructions, 13,000 sports and football grounds, more than 100 Children and Youth Sport Schools.

The name has been retained after the fall of the Soviet Union and the VSS system, notably by FC Zenit Saint Petersburg, which won the 2007 Russian Premier League, the 2007-08 UEFA Cup in association football and 2008 UEFA Super Cup.
