Vadim Sergeyevich Rakov (Russian: Вадим Сергеевич Раков; born 9 January 2005) is a Russian footballer who plays as a left winger for FC Lokomotiv Moscow.[2]

Early life

Born in Voronezh,[3] he began his football journey at the FC Fakel Voronezh Youth Academy. In 2015, at just 10 years old, he caught the attention of scouts during a regional Lokobol tournament and received an invitation to join the FC Lokomotiv Moscow Academy.

The forward played for Lokomotiv's 2005-born team and, in 2021, was recognized as the best player in Moscow for his age group.

Playing for Lokomotiv's youth team, he emerged as the top scorer in the UFL-2 (Russian Youth U-18 League), setting an all-time league record with an impressive 36 goals in 25 matches.[4][5]

In the summer of 2022, Rakov completed a full training camp with Lokomotiv's first team and scored his debut goal in a friendly match.

Club career

Rakov made his debut in the Russian Premier League for FC Lokomotiv Moscow on 13 August 2022 in a game against PFC Krylia Sovetov Samara.[6]

On 27 July 2023, Rakov extended his contract with Lokomotiv to June 2027.[7]

International career

Rakov was actively involved with the Russian U17 national team, where he played five matches and scored once—netting a goal against Croatia (1:2).[8]

He has represented Russia at various youth levels, including the U15, U17, U18, and U21 teams.
