History

Founded in 1980, the club has not participated in the Georgian top flight.

In unique circumstances Samegrelo once took part in Pirveli Liga. In the middle of the 2014-15 season they replaced Sasco, who had withdrawn from the competition due to financial troubles.[1] As the team failed to stay up in the league, though, they spent the next three years in the third tier.

Samegrelo won C Group of Meore Liga in 2016. However, not a single team gained promotion in this transitional season.[2]

According to existing regulations in 2018, despite coming 11th among 20 league teams, Samegrelo dropped down to Liga 4,[3] where they remained for four seasons.

Starting from 2020, Samegrelo battled against a further relegation. In the first year, they avoided this fate only after the league was subjected to the reorganization, which included the increase of teams from 16 to twenty.[4]

In the next year the club initially performed so poorly that they seemed hopeless in their survival battle. However, having won seven matches in Relegation Round with a large margin, Samegrelo under head coach Paata Bukia comfortably finished in the fourth place.[5]

But in 2022, they ended up in the relegation zone and joined other three sides bound for Regionuli Liga.
