FC Gagra
Georgia · Founded: 2004
FC Gagra is a Georgian football club based in Tbilisi, founded in 2004 by a group of businessmen and former players originally connected to the city of Gagra in Abkhazia. The club was created as a symbol of unity and the hope of returning to its homeland, but due to the ongoing conflict in the region, it has always played its home matches in Tbilisi. It started from the lower tiers of Georgian football and gradually worked its way up through the league system.
The club’s breakthrough came in the 2010–11 season, when it achieved remarkable success by winning both the Georgian Cup and the second division, earning promotion to the top tier. That same period also marked its debut in European competitions, where it represented Georgia in UEFA tournament qualifiers. These achievements made Gagra one of the most notable underdog stories in Georgian football history.
In later years, FC Gagra has moved between divisions, experiencing both promotions and relegations. It has continued to compete in the national league system, maintaining a reputation as a resilient and ambitious club despite limited resources. The team remains active today, still based in Tbilisi and continuing its efforts to return to the highest level of Georgian football.
