FC Sioni Bolnisi
Georgia · Founded: 1936
FC Sioni Bolnisi is a professional football club based in the city of Bolnisi, Georgia. Founded in 1936, it is one of the older clubs in the country and currently competes in Erovnuli Liga 2, the second tier of Georgian football. The team plays its home matches at the Tamaz Stepania Stadium and takes its name from a historic local cathedral, reflecting its regional identity.
For many years, Sioni alternated between lower divisions before establishing itself in the top league in the mid-1990s. The club came close to winning the national title in the 2003–04 season, finishing level on points with the leaders but losing a decisive playoff match. Its greatest achievement followed shortly after, when Sioni won the Georgian championship in the 2005–06 season, marking the peak of its success.
Sioni has also reached the final of the Georgian Cup on multiple occasions and participated in European competitions, including qualifying rounds of the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Cup. In more recent years, the club has spent time outside the top division, competing in the second tier while aiming to return to higher levels. Despite fluctuations in performance, it remains a recognized name in Georgian football history.
