FC Dinamo Zugdidi is a Georgian football club based in Zugdidi. Since 2023, the club competes in Liga 4 after they were accused of match-fixing and were expelled from the Erovnuli Liga 2 the previous season.

History

[edit]

The club was founded in 1918 as Odishi Zugdidi.

In 1990, FC Odishi Zugdidi were promoted for the first time to the Umaglesi Liga, the top division of Georgian football. In the 1998–99 season they finished 15th and were relegated to the Pirveli Liga. Ahead of the 2001–02 season the club changed its name to FC Lazika Zugdidi and the following season the club won promotion back to the Umaglesi Liga.

Ahead of the 2003–04 season, FC Lazika Zugdidi merged with FC Spartaki Tbilisi, a Pirveli Liga club. During the winter break, FC Spartak-Lazika Zugdidi relocated to Tbilisi and renamed themselves to FC Spartaki Tbilisi. The fusion was later undone and the now independent club changed its name from to FC Zugdidi.

In July 2006, FC Zugdidi and FC Mglebi Zugdidi, a Regionuli Liga club, merged. The club continued to perform in the Pirveli League but was renamed FC Mglebi Zugdidi. In the season 2006–07, they won the league and returned to the Umaglesi Liga.

They renamed themselves to FC Baia Zugdidi in 2009 Later, ahead of the 2012–13 season, FC Baia Zugdidi changed their name to FC Zugdidi. Since 2020, they have been called FC DInamo Zugdidi.

In the 2022 season, they, alongside FC Shevardeni-1908 Tbilisi, were accused of match-fixing and were expelled to Liga 4, the fourth division of Georgian football.
