History

The new club was formed as FC Gagra in 2004 at Regionuli Liga, where the club won promotion to the Pirveli Liga. After winning their second-tier division, Gagra lost the promotion play-off in 2005–06 and 2006–07 and failed to promote to the Umaglesi Liga. In 2007–08, they again lost the promotion play-off, but after some withdrawals in the Umaglesi Liga the team was promoted finally.[1] In the 2008–09 season, the team played in the top league,[2] but were to be relegated in the end.[3] Only after higher placed teams withdrew from the league Gagra weren't relegated.[4] Gagra won the first League of 2010–2011 season,[5] and became the winner of the Georgian Cup, defeating three-time winners FC Torpedo Kutaisi 1–0 after extra time.[6]
