FC Aragvi () is a Georgian association football club. Following the 2025 season, they were promoted to Erovnuli Liga 2, the 2nd tier of Georgian football.
Although registered in Dusheti, Aragvi have not played there since 2019, holding home matches in Mtskheta, Tbilisi and Sartichala instead.
History Established in 1954, during the Soviet period Aragvi mainly participated in the East group of Georgian republican league 2.
In the 2008–09 season, the team played in the Meore Liga. Shiola Shiolashvili led the team to first place in the third tier. In 2009–10 season the team had the opportunity to participate in the Pirveli Liga next year, but some financial problems made this goal unachievable. Although the city council stopped supporting Aragvi, which brought the club to the verge of collapse, the football school continued to exist and was awaiting a revival.დუშეთი "არაგვის" აღდგენას ელის
A few years later, the club was rebuilt but the financial problems could not be completely resolved. In an interview, Aragvi's general manager Soso Tchikaidze said that the help provided by the municipality was not enough to bring the team together.
In August 2017 it was confirmed that "Jaba Credit" had become the club's main sponsor. Since then Aragvi invited several new players. In 2017 Aragvi competed in Group B of the Regional League. The team finished second in the tournament table with 60 points. In playoffs Aragvi Dusheti defeated Skuri 2–1 and advanced to the Liga 3.
In 2018 the club made a debut in Liga 3 and was ranked sixth, guaranteeing survival in the league of twenty teams.
The next year they finished third, therefore, succeeding in qualification for play-offs against Erovnuli Liga 2 team Guria. Aragvi lost 0–1 at home, but emerged victorious over their opponents in the return leg after the overtime by a 2–1 aggregate score and advanced to the second tier.Soccerway
The debut in this division in 2020, though, turned out unsuccessful. Aragvi finished bottom of the table and left the league. Their attempt to climb back there via promotion play-offs in 2022 ended in a narrow defeat although a year later Aragvi won the league on a goal advantage and gained promotion to the 2nd division.
For the second time in four years, the team failed to retain a place there beyond one year as they sustained a playoff defeat in a dramatic two-legged tie and returned to Liga 3.
Following the 2025 season, Aragvi changed the league once again after winning playoffs against Locomotive on penalties.
