History

edit

During the late Soviet times, Skuri was mainly a member of the first division of the Georgian domestic league. After the 1990s the team competed for years in Pirveli Liga, the second division of national championship.

Skuri suffered a defeat in the 2014–15 fierce survival battle, although still obtained the right to remain in the league after another club was expelled.[2] In 2016, they were defeated in the play-off final and relegated to the third league.[3]

A year later Skuri lost another relegation play-off tie and, as a result, had to leave Liga 3 as well.[4]

Having played for the next two seasons in Regionuli Liga, the club gained promotion to the newly formed Liga 4 for the 2020 season after winning the first phase of the competition[5] and coming 3rd in the Promotion Group.[6]
