Английская Википедия:FC Gori
FC Gori is a Georgian association football club, based in Gori, which competes in Liga 3, the third tier of Georgian football system.
History
Established in 2015, FC Gori to this day retains the status of a municipal non-commercial legal entity. Currently they are the only club to have been in the third division for the eight successive season.
The team achieved their best result in Liga 3 in 2016 when they won the tournament after an unbeaten run during the entire season.[1] But in this transitional season all group winners were denied promotion.
FC Gori came close to Liga 2 again in 2020, when they earned a place in play-offs against Merani Martvili. After a goalless draw at home the events in the return leg unfolded unfavourably for Gori when they were reduced to ten men already in the first half with another player sent off later on. This circumstance defined a final outcome of the match.[2]
In David Kipiani Cup Gori achieved a remarkable success in 2017 after they knocked out Erovnuli Liga team Shukura Kobuleti in the second round.[3] The next year the club was eliminated by Torpedo Kutaisi, the Cup winners of the season, and in 2021 was beaten in extra-time by Samgurali, the finalists of the last two competitions.
Around 80% of the current players are local residents, brought up at the football school of Gori.[4]
