The club plays home matches at the Stadium named after I.P. Chayka and operates a reserve team, Chayka-M, which competes in the LEON Second League B as a developmental squad for players born 2007-2009. The organization's core business is the operation of a professional football franchise and the production of league competition content distributed via the official website (fc-chayka.ru) and the Chayka.TV video platform, which integrates with VK Video for live match streaming.

The club's primary growth engine is its football academy, the Academy of Football named after Ivan Platonovich Chayka, founded in May 2019 and named after the club president's father. The academy trains approximately 700 boys and girls from the 2009-2019 birth cohorts across branches in Peschanokopskoye, Rostov-on-Don (FOK Chayka-Zapadny on ul. Elyanina 64/1 and FOK Chayka-Severny on bul. Komarova 1/1), Aksai, and Shakhty, with UEFA-licensed coaching staff across men's, women's, and goalkeeping programs. In November 2023, the academy was certified as a "Football Academy of the Highest Category" by the Russian Football Union (RFU), placing it among the top-8 football academies in Russia; this followed a "Football Academy" status confirmation in June 2022 and the establishment of a women's football department in summer 2022.

FC Chayka's revenue model combines matchday ticket sales (distributed via Yandex Afisha), academy service fees for youth development, and corporate sponsorship. The club lists several corporate partners on its official website, including Avtokorporaciya Chayka, Bank Centrinvest, AB InBev (ИнБев), Antek, Seagull ACG (Сигл), Promresurs (Промреурс), Legalbet, and PARI as title sponsor of the league, alongside the FNL (Russian Football National League) as the governing league body and the RFS (Russian Football Union) as the national federation providing sanctioning and academy certification. The club is privately held as a Rostov Regional Public Sports Organization, with no disclosed parent company, no venture capital or private equity involvement, and no publicly disclosed revenue figures. Geographic scope is limited to Southern Russia.
