Tekstilshchik played in the Soviet Second League since 1988 and were promoted to the
First League after the 1990 season. After finishing 11th in 1991 they were entitled to enter the
Russian Top Division formed after the dissolution of the USSR. In 1993 Tekstilshchik finished fourth in the league, achieving the best result in the club's history. In 1996–1997 the club suffered two consecutive relegations (17th in Top Division in 1996, 19th in
First Division in 1997). They were then excluded from the Second Division Volga Zone midway through the 1998 season for not paying their participation fee, thereby dropping into the fourth-level
KFK (Amateur) League. In 2000 the former top-flight club finished last in the Amateur League
Black Earth Zone and so bottom of the entire Russian football pyramid. Tekstilshchik won the Black Earth Zone in 2002 and were promoted back to the Second Division South Zone. However, 2005–2007 brought three consecutive last-place finishes, the third of which saw them relegated back to the Amateur League. Prior to the 2009 season the club voluntarily withdrew from the national football pyramid by the decision of
Kamyshin mayor Aleksandr Chunakov, and instead entered the
Volgograd Oblast Championship (nominally the fifth level, but with no automatic promotion to the Amateur League). They remain there as of 2015. Tekstilshchik participated in the UEFA Cup in
1994–95, beating Hungarians
Bekescsabai Elore to reach the second round where they lost to
FC Nantes. ==Team name history==
