Fedor Skok – a footballer of Armenian descent from Baltika

19-year-old defender Fedor Skok joined Kaliningrad’s Baltika in January 2025 and currently plays for the club’s second team in the Russian Second Division.

Fedor was born in the Khosta district of Sochi and progressed from youth football in the Krasnodar region to the professional level. His first football club was Armada from Sochi. At the age of 15, he moved to the FC Sochi academy, and later played for the local team Traktor in the Krasnodar regional championship.

In 2023, Skok signed a contract with Kolomna from the Moscow region, and by spring 2024 he was already part of the Khimki reserve team. The beginning of 2025 marked a new challenge: joining Baltika’s system. For Baltika-2, he managed to play two matches before being sidelined with a muscle injury. He is currently undergoing recovery.

Skok stands out for his physical attributes and versatility. He can play both as a central defender and as a full-back.
