FC Tskhumi (Georgian: საფეხბურთო კლუბი ცხუმი) is a Georgian association football club, currently playing in Regionuli Liga, the fifth tier of Georgian football.[1]
The club was based in Sokhumi in 1990–1993 and following the War in Abkhazia (1992–1993) was re-founded by an internally displaced person from Abkhazia in Tbilisi.
History
[edit]In 1990, most Georgian clubs, including FC Dinamo Tbilisi, withdrew from the Soviet League system and established the Georgian national league as the Umaglesi Liga. The club's predecessor, FC Dinamo Sukhumi, refused to join it and continued to play in the Soviet First League for the next two seasons. Therefore, Tskhumi was formed to represent Sokhumi in Umaglesi Liga. Star players Gocha Gogrichiani and Giorgi Chikhradze joined from Dinamo. The first president was Guram Gabiskiria.
The team started successfully, reaching the Georgian Cup finals twice in 1990[2] and 1991[3] where they lost respectively to Guria Lanchkhuti and Dinamo Tbilisi. In 1991–1992 Tskhumi finished in 2nd place in the league,[4] but due to the war in Abkhazia had to cease their participation in the championship along with all other clubs from the region.
Overall Tskhumi spent four full seasons in Umaglesi Liga.[5]

Between 1993 and 1999 FC Tskhumi was dissolved. The club restored their participation in the Georgian league[6] and won Liga 3 in 2014 by a large margin.[7]
Since then, Tskhumi have been playing in lower divisions.
