About FC Samgurali Tskaltubo

FC Samgurali Tskaltubo is a professional football club based in Tskaltubo, Georgia. Founded in 1945, the club has a long history and is one of the traditional teams in Georgian football. It plays its home matches at the 26 May Stadium and represents the Imereti region.

The club experienced its strongest period during the Soviet era, especially in the 1980s, when it won multiple regional championships and established itself as one of the leading sides in Georgian SSR football. After the creation of the independent Georgian league in 1990, Samgurali became a regular participant in the top division and remained there for most of the early seasons. However, financial and sporting difficulties later caused instability, leading to relegation and even temporary disappearance from competition.

In recent years, Samgurali has rebuilt its position in Georgian football. After being revived and reorganized, the club worked its way back up through the lower divisions and returned to the top tier after a long absence. It now competes in the Erovnuli Liga, aiming to re-establish itself as a stable top-flight team, while continuing its tradition as one of the historic clubs from western Georgia.
