FC Gori is a Georgian association football club, based in Gori. Following the 2025 season, they were promoted to Liga 2, the second tier of Georgian football.

The Kartli stadium is Gori's home ground.

History

[edit]

Established in 2015, FC Gori to this day retains the status of a municipal non-commercial legal entity.

The team achieved their best result in Liga 3 in 2016 when they won the tournament after an unbeaten run during the entire season.[1] But in this transitional season all group winners were denied promotion.

FC Gori came close to Liga 2 again in 2020, when they earned a place in play-offs against Merani Martvili. After a goalless draw at home the events in the return leg unfolded unfavourably for Gori when they were reduced to ten men already in the first half with another player sent off later on. This circumstance defined an outcome of the match.[2]

In the David Kipiani Cup, Gori achieved a remarkable success in 2017 after they knocked out Erovnuli Liga team Shukura in the second round.[3] The next year the club was eliminated by Torpedo Kutaisi, the cup winners of the season.

Gori spent ten seasons in the 3rd tier before producing a 24-game unbeaten run in 2025. They finished 2nd in the league table and achieved automatic promotion to Liga 2.

Around 80% of the current players are local residents, brought up at the football school of Gori.[4]
