History[]

In 1969 Sulori became champions in Georgian Soviet league. This success enabled the club to participate in the Soviet Second Minor league the next year, which they finished in the 10th place among 18 teams.[2]

By claiming seven titles within nine years, Sulori became one of the leading members of the republican league in 1980s. In the same period twice in a row they clinched the Georgian Cup as well.[3]

In 1990, when the national championship was formed, the team won the second division and gained promotion to the top flight. However, after two seasons they were relegated.[4]

Later Sulori mostly took part in the second or third divisions with the lowest point reached in 2019, when they played in the regional league for one season.

In 2016 the team knocked out three opponents on the Cup and reached the quarterfinals, where they were beaten with a narrow margin by Torpedo Kutaisi, the future Cup winners of the season.[5]
