At the age of 7, his father took the future athlete to the Falla football section.
By the way, the boy did not have a club from his hometown at all. Fedor's sympathies were on the side of the capital "Lokomotiv", because it was precisely the composition of the railway workers he dreamed of getting.

At the age of 16, SMOs concluded the first professional contract with the Moscow Dynamo. A year later, Forward was debuted in the Premier League against the "Ray-Energy" from Vladivostok, and the first official goal of the Samara Club "Wings of Soviets" scored the first official goal.In 2010, Dynamo leadership decided that the resolution requires constant gaming practice. The player was leased to the Dutch Fayenoord, Makhachkala "Anji" and Yekaterinburg "Ural". As the football player himself admits, before a business trip to the Netherlands, he has not plunged into football 100%, spent time on extraneous hobbies. And the first lease allowed to reconsider priorities and become a professional.
In each of these FC, Smols were on a good account, and the "Urals" fans twice called striker the best football player. With Anji, the athlete repeated his achievement in the championship - won, as before "Dynamo", bronze medals. In the summer of 2015, Fedor has expired a lease term in the Yekaterinburg club, as well as a contract with the Moscow Dynamo. The new agreement of the Smop and the management of the Moscow team decided not to sign.
The rights of the free agent of samples switched to Krasnodar. Forward quickly became a key player of the club, a breakthrough occurred in a sports biography.

However, later the assumption was denied the management of "Sine-White-Blue".

They rumored that the Chinese FC came to the leadership of Krasnodar, who offered a soccer player wages at € 10 million per season. According to Smolov, it was not interested in such a proposal, because with this option, the likelihood in the future to get into Europe is reduced to virtually zero.
Once Fedor confessed to an interview that he plays a football not because of the money, and since it was not a life without a game. Refusing a sentence from China, Smols missed a chance to earn a large amount of funds, but won the support of fans.
