About FC Locomotive Tbilisi

FC Locomotive Tbilisi is a professional football club based in Tbilisi, Georgia. Founded on 14 August 1936, it was originally part of the Soviet railway sports society and has long-standing ties with the Georgian railway system. The club competes in the Georgian football league system and plays its home matches at the Mikheil Meskhi Stadium.

During the Soviet era, Locomotive participated across multiple divisions, including brief appearances in the top league in the late 1930s and 1940. In the post-Soviet period, the club became a regular participant in Georgia’s top flight. Its most successful domestic period came around the turn of the 2000s, when it finished as runner-up in the national championship twice and won the Georgian Cup three times.

In European competitions, Locomotive has reached qualifying and early knockout rounds of UEFA tournaments, achieving occasional notable wins but generally limited progress. In recent years, the club has fluctuated between the top two divisions of Georgian football. Despite this inconsistency, it remains an important and historic club in the country’s football landscape.
