Elva Iii

Elva linnastaadion holds 600 people, and there is no mistaking it for anything but a venue built to a third-tier scale. It is where FC Elva's reserve side plays out its III liiga fixtures and the Small Cup.

FC Elva III exists to feed the first team, and its own record starts in the V liiga lõuna, the fifth tier's southern division, where the earliest season on file shows a fifth-place finish built on seven wins, two draws and five losses. No honours sit against the reserve team's name since; the senior FC Elva took the III Liiga Lõuna title in 2011, a line that belongs to the first team's history rather than this one's.

The club wears green, red, white and light blue, and has never picked up a nickname that made it into print. What it has is a function: development football in a small university town.
