FC Spaeri (Georgian: საფეხბურთო კლუბი სპაერი) is a Georgian association football club, based in Tbilisi. Following the 2021 season, the club won Liga 3 and gained promotion to Liga 2, the second tier of Georgian football system.

History[]

Spaeri was established in 2017 by five individuals working in the Special State Protection Service.[1] The team mostly consisted of the servicemen of this organization and initially participated in the Amateur League before becoming a member of Regionuli Liga.[2]

The 2018 season Spaeri finished as runners-up and obtained the right to take part in the newly created Liga 4. Having won 21 games out of 27, they claimed the first place there with an automatic promotion to Liga 3.

The debut in the third division was impressive with Spaeri vying for a promotion play-off place up until the last matchday. Eventually, the club came two points short of the third place.[3]

The team improved their performance in 2021 and following an unbeaten run in twenty league games won Liga 3 six rounds before the end of the season.[4]

Kakha Maisuradze has been coaching the team since 2017.
