FC Bakhmaro is a Georgian association football club based in Chokhatauri, Georgia. The club currently competes in Liga 3, the third tier of Georgian football system.

History[]

FC Bakhmaro have never participated in top divisions.

In 1990s they took part in the second league for several seasons and in mid-2010s the club mostly played in the third division, where they usually finished in top half of the table.

2014/15 Meore Liga West 6th of 15 28 14 4 10 53-48 46

In 2017 Bakhmaro won the Regional league, the then forth tier, and returned to Liga 3.[1]

The next year the club had quite a memorable season. During the entire campaign up until the last matchday they were engaged in a fierce rivalry with Zugdidi for the first place. Eventually, as runners-up Bakhmaro booked a place in promotion play-offs against FC Tskhinvali, although suffered a defeat in both games.[2]

In 2019 the club yet again narrowly fell short of the promotion goal and since then switched to survival tasks. An awful run of form at the beginning of the next season brought Bakhmaro to the brink of relegation, although they stayed up only after some changes regarding the number of clubs were introduced in January 2021.[3]

Likewise, in 2021 with one win in the initial ten matches the team hurtled towards the drop zone,[4] which led to the replacement of manager. This time, though, they gradually improved the performance on the pitch and drifted to safety.
