Perspective
Gardabani were established in 2015 as a municipal club. They won the regional league tournament in the very first season. Promoted to Liga 3, Gardabani took the 1st place amid a tight competition with Mtskheta and Tskhumi.[1]
The club spent one year in the second division, which has been their highest point. After getting relegated, Gardabani took part in Liga 3 for two seasons.
They knocked out three teams during the 2018 cup campaign and reached the fourth round.[2] But as early as in March 2018, players started complaining about lack of training facilities and financial means forcing them to leave the club.[3] Beset with these problems, Gardabani were relegated to the fourth tier at the end of this season along with other nine teams that finished in the bottom half of the table.[4] However, the club no longer participated in any league for next two years.
With the help of Egyptian investors, Gardabani resumed functioning in early February 2021. The new management also unveiled plans to create a football academy for children and form another team for the Amateur League.[5]
In the first season, the club failed to gain promotion, although the next year turned out fruitful. In the cup, Gardabani defeated three opponents, including two third-tier members, and reached the fourth round, while in the league they topped the table from the start, won 22 matches out of 26 and accomplished their goal.[6] The club continued a successful league campaign the next season as well. After a 2–0 away win over Sulori on the last matchday, they emerged victorious from a hard-fought battle for Liga 3 and achieved the second successive promotion.
