History
In the 2008–09 season, the team was played in the Meore Liga. Shiola Shiolashvili led the team to first place in the third tier. In 2009–10 season the team had the opportunity to participate in the Pirveli Liga next year, but the club did not take the opportunity due to financial problems. The city council has stopped supporting the club. Despite the collapse of the club, the football school continued to exist and was awaiting a revival.[2]
A few years later, the club was rebuilt but the financial problems could not be completely resolved. In an interview, Aragvi's general manager Soso Tchikaidze said that the help provided by the municipality was not enough to bring the team together.
In August 2017 it was confirmed that "Jaba Credit" had become the club's main sponsor. Since then, Aragvi has invited several new players.[3] In 2017 Aragvi competed in Group B of the Regional League. The team finished second in the tournament table with 60 points. In playoffs Aragvi Dusheti defeated Skuri Tsalenjikha and advanced to the Liga 3.
In 2018 the club debuted in the Liga 3 and was ranked sixth, guaranteeing survival in the league of twenty teams.[4]
In 2019 the team played in the third tier in which it took third place. Entry into the second tier was fought against Erovnuli Liga 2 team Guria Lanchkhuti. Aragvi lost 0-1 at home,[5] but in the return leg, they were lead 1-0 ahead of the regular time and defeated their opponents in the overtime and went to Erovnuli Liga 2.[6] Dusheti's players defeated their opponents by a combined score of 2-1.[7] This victory gave the club an opportunity to advance to the second tier.
