History


Founded in 1936, FC Borjomi participated in Georgian regional championship for many years.

From 1993/94 they spent several seasons in the second and third division. In 2004/05 Borjomi finished 2nd in Liga 2[1] and got promoted to Umaglesi Liga, where the club competed for four seasons.

The fifth place in 2005/06 is the best result Borjomi have achieved in Georgian leagues. It is noteworthy that the club won 14 home games out of 15, including against the top three leaders.[2]

In the 2007/08 season Borjomi won the group stage of David Kipiani Cup and reached the semifinals,[3] but the next year the club finished in the bottom place and quit the league.

A few years later Borjomi experienced some significant revival. Having convincingly won the third division in 2014, the next year team achieved great progress towards the return to the top league. As the runners-up, they booked a place for promotion play-off game against Lokomotive Tbilisi. This dramatic final match ended 3-3 and the winner of the tie was determined after the penalty shoot-out.[4]

Shortly some harsh times followed with two relegations within four seasons. Borjomi sank to a low ebb in 2019 when they failed to preserve a place in the third division.[5] Аs a result, the head coach was replaced and 90% of players parted ways with the club.[6]

In 2021 the club won the first stage of Liga 4 competition, qualified for the Promotion Group and managed to advance back to the third league from the third place. It is noteworthy that all home matches of the season they played at Mtskheta Park.[7]

Stadium


The club's home ground is a stadium named after Borjomi-born player Jemal Zeinklishvili, who was a member of Dinamo Tbilisi squad during their victorious season in the Soviet Top league in 1964.

The area was announced unfit for hosting official matches in 2020, which forced the local municipal authorities to unveil reconstruction plans. For this reason the team was forced to hire Mtskheta Park for their home games during the next two seasons.[8]
