On 30 May 2022, Rodina secured promotion to Russian First League.^[4]

In their first season in the second tier, Rodina secured 5th place. As 3rd-placed Alania Vladikavkaz failed to obtain the 2023–24 Russian Premier League license, that qualified Rodina for the promotion play-offs.^[5][6] After losing the first leg of the play-off series at home to FC Pari Nizhny Novgorod with the score of 0–3, Rodina went up 2–0 in the away second leg by the 24th minute of the game.
