FC Elva is a football club, based in Elva, Estonia, that competes in the Esiliiga, the second level of Estonian football.

History

Elva came close to rising to the top-division Meistriliiga for the first time following their successful 2022 season, but they lost in the promotion play-offs to TJK Legion.[1] A month later Legion had to renounce their league spot due to financial trouble. According to the rules Legion's place was given to Pärnu Vaprus, who finished the season last behind Legion.[2]
