History
In 1990, most of the Georgian clubs including FC Dinamo Tbilisi withdrew from the Soviet League system and established the Georgian national league as the Umaglesi Liga. The club predecessor, FC Dinamo Sokhumi refused to join it and continued to play in the Soviet First League for the next two seasons. Therefore, Tskhumi was formed to represent Sokhumi in Umaglesi Liga. Star players Gocha Gogrichiani and Giorgi Chikhradze joined from Dinamo. The first president was Guram Gabiskiria.
The team started successfully, reaching the Georgian Cup finals twice in 1990[2] and 1991[3] where they lost respectively to Guria Lanchkhuti and Dinamo Tbilisi. Besides, in 1991-92 Tskhumi finished in 2nd place in the league,[4] but due to the war in Abkhazia had to cease their participation in the championship along with all other clubs from this region.
Overall Tskhumi spent four full seasons in Umaglesi Liga.[5]
