History

Sairme initially starting taking part in second tier of the Georgian Soviet league.

In mid-2010s the club twice in a row came 3rd in Meore Liga, followed by the second place taken in 2016. Sairme under the management of Davit Machitidze finished one point short of a group winner and according to the existing league regulations, dropped down to Regionuli Liga along with all the remaining teams.[1]

With new coach Jaba Akhaladze in the new league, Sairme ended up in mid-table.[2] Soon financial difficulties worsened their performance. In 2020, Sairme played the last season before their formal withdrawal.

After a three-year pause the club resumed functioning in 2024 and joined Group C of the Regionuli Liga tournament.[3]

Name

The club was named after the Sairme balneological resort, located in 25 km from the town of Bagdati.
