Margveti 2006

Kharagauli sits roughly 22 kilometres from Zestaponi, and that distance is the whole reason Margveti 2006 make the drive for every home fixture.

The club took its founding year straight into its name, in part to separate itself from the earlier FC Margveti, which had reached the Umaglesi Liga and UEFA Cup football before folding in 2000. Margveti 2006 built upward from nothing in the divisions below, taking the Meore Liga's West group in 2016 and, in 2024, reaching the Liga 4 final to earn promotion into Liga 3. In the David Kipiani Cup, the Georgian knockout competition, their furthest run stopped at the Round of 32 in 2022.

The derby that matters to them is against FC Zestaponi, a rivalry sharpened by a 2015 dispute over municipal privileges rather than by proximity on the table, and it carries an edge that the club's short history elsewhere does not.

Jumber Khmelidze, known as Juba, is the name attached to that 2024 promotion push: the forward scored 39 goals across the Liga 4 season.
