FC Egrisi (Georgian: საფეხბურთო კლუბი ეგრისი) is a Georgian association football club based in the town of Senaki. The club competes in Regionuli Liga, the fifth tier of the national football system.

The team has played one season in the top flight.

History

The club had different names in the 1940–60s and as Spartaki, Gantiadi, Tsiskari and Kolkheti participated in the Georgian domestic league.[1] In a most memorable event in 1970, they won the republican cup competition. Since then, the football club has been competing under the current name.

Egrisi played in Umaglesi Liga in the 1995–96 season, but they failed to retain their place in the league.[2] The team has since been in low leagues with most of the seasons spent in the third division.

The club successfully concluded the regional league tournament in 2018.[3] After Liga 4 was formed the next year, they were its participant for three consecutive seasons, although a poor performance in 2021 resulted in their relegation.[4]

In their third successive season in Regionuli Liga, Egrisi under Besik Sherozia finished 2nd, four points adrift of group leaders Kolkheti-2, and reached the play-off stage of this tournament.[5]
