The owners of the 3rd Spartak Cup are the winners of the Moscow and Russian championships of 2013. The head coach of the team is Vladimir Beschastnykh, a famous former forward of the club and of the National team. 

Spartak-97 team throughout all its history has been being one of the strongest teams in the city and playing properly on international tournaments, but before 2013 the top of the podium was a rarely achievement. 2010 is a year of the victory of Moscow Cup trophy, of the 3rd place on the tournament in Hannover and the bronze of the Moscow Winter Tournament. The next year became a "silver" one: they are runners up on the interational tournaments, on Kazachenka Cup in St. Petersburg, on winter and summer tournamets of the city. In 2012 Spartak-97 won bronze of the Moscow summer tournament and stayed in one step away from the piedestal of the elite International Tournamet - Stefano Gusella Torneo.

They started their season from the second place on the winter tournament of the city, Spartak players brilliantly passed through the main part of the tournament.

On the Summer Tournament in Moscow the team continued their triumph. Spartak Academy team won 19 matches out of 22, they lost twice and once played in a draw. They scored 72 goales and missed only 10. Such a high statistics let "Spartak" won the champions title of the tournament. With victorious pace the team entered 2014 and won the Moscow Winter Tournament.

Footballers of the team are the backbone of the Moscow and Russian youth teams. In summer 2013 at once eight  Spartak footballers played for the Moscow  team, won the trophy of the VI Sports day in Penza. A goalkeeper Vadim Averkiev, defenders Andrey Shigorev, Oleg Krasilnichenko, Artem Mamin and midfielders Georgiy Melkadze, Daniil Gorovykh, Nazar Gordeochuk and a forward Dmitry Malikov ensured a Muscovites’ victory.
