FC West Georgia (Georgian: საფეხბურთო კლუბი ვესტ ჯორჯია) is a Georgian association football club based in Batumi, Adjara.

Established in 2024, they started competing in the lowest division of Georgian football a year later and following a successful league campaign advanced to Liga 4 in their debut season.

History

West Georgia was initially founded as a football school with various age groups for children. Along with the academy, a professional club was also created. 31-year-old Valerian Tevdoradze, who had made 221 appearances for Dinamo Batumi during his career, took charge of the team,[1] which entered the 2025 Regionuli Liga tournament.

During their first league campaign, West Georgia competed for a promotion spot against far more experienced rivals such as the reserve teams of Dinamo Batumi and Torpedo Kutaisi.[2] They managed to remain unbeaten throughout the season, produced a nineteen-game winning streak and on 13 November 2025, following a 13–0 win over Khoni 2024, gained automatic promotion to Liga 4 with 26 wins out of 28 matches and a remarkable goal difference (+120).[3]

West Georgia looked impressive in the 4th division as well, being the only team without a single loss by the summer break. They also made a debut in the Georgian Cup and knocked out two opponents before their 45-game unbeaten run in both competitions was halted by a 2nd-league club.[4]
