FC Margveti 2006
FC Margveti 2006 (Georgian: საფეხბურთო კლუბი მარგვეთი 2006), commonly referred to as Margveti, is a Georgian association football club from Zestaponi, which has earned promotion to Liga 3, the third division of Georgian football, following the 2024 season.
Since 1990, when independent leagues were formed, the city of Zestaponi has been represented by several clubs in Georgian football divisions.
● FC Margveti spent eight seasons in Umaglesi Liga in the 1990s, twice reaching semifinals of the national Cup and once finishing the second, which paved the way for participation in UEFA Cup preliminary round. However, facing a severe financial crisis, the club went bust in 2000.
● FC Metalurgi (Georgian: მეტალურგი), bearing the name of a Soviet-time football club from Zestaponi, re-emerged instead. Being participant of two top-flight seasons between 2001 and 2003, they, too, ceased to exist for the same reason.
● FC Zestaponi, founded in 2004, achieved a remarkable success in late 2000s and early 2010s, becoming a dominant force along with Dinamo Tbilisi. The two-times champions and the Cup title holders, however, due to various reasons faded away gradually after 2014.
Margveti 2006 were formed in 2006 as a municipal club on the basis of a local football school, where at one point 268 pupils were engaged in football, participating in different regional and republican competitions. As for the professional club, they have taken part in the third division and below only.
Margveti came close to gaining promotion to Pirveli Liga three times in four years in the middle of the decade. In 2016, they won the Group tournament, although no club was promoted in this season.
In contrast with the previous seasons, in 2017 the club was involved in the relegation round. Although Margveti seemed clear favorites in a play-off tie, they surprisingly lost it, which led to the exit of manager Gia Guruli and 13 field players. The team was a member of Regionuli Liga for the next three years before they managed to take the second place in 2020 in Group A West and advance to Liga 4.
