FC Meshakhte (Georgian: საფეხბურთო კლუბი მეშახტე) is a Georgian association football club based in Tkibuli. Following the 2024 season in Liga 3, the club earned promotion to Erovnuli Liga 2, the second tier of Georgian football.
Meshakhte participated in the Georgian Soviet league and twice, in 1980 and 1981, became champions. In 1964 and 1976 they also won the domestic Cup.
The club spent 13 seasons in the Soviet third division with the following combined results:
M | W | D | L | GF–GA |
---|---|---|---|---|
303 | 127 | 60 | 116 | 414-399 |
The success of the club was attributed to the large coal mine industry based in Tkibuli which financed the local football as well.
First years after Georgian national league was formed, the club played in the second division. Between 1991 and 1996 they three times finished third and once, in 1997, came 2nd. Starting from 2005, Meshakhte spent thirteen consecutive seasons in Pirveli Liga.
The 3rd place taken in Group White in 2016 has been the best result achieved in the recent period. But the next season turned out troublesome. The team produced a seventeen-game unwinning run. Three points earned in the last round saved the club from automatic relegation, although a home-and-away play-off tie ended unfavourably.
After two years in Liga 3 Meshakhte, struggling the whole season, finished at the bottom in 2020. However, they avoided another relegation due to some changes, introduced in late January 2021, which increased the number of clubs in this league.
In 2022, Meshakhte took part in a long survival battle, but they lost a crucial game and ended up in the drop zone. Nevertheless, this time due to disqualification of another club, the Miners retained their place in this division.
In June 2024, 70% of the club's share was put up for auction. As a result, Okriba Meshakhte Ltd took over the management with the rest of the share remaining in municipal property.
Meshakhte significantly improved in 2024, joining a title race from the very outset. They finished 2nd and sealed automatic promotion back to Erovnuli Liga 2 after a seven-year break.
