Jõhvi FC Phoenix is an Estonian football club based in Jõhvi that competes in Esiliiga B, the third-highest division in the Estonian football. Founded in 2011 as Jõhvi FC Lokomotiv, the club was named Jõhvi FC Phoenix in 2018. The club has competed in the Estonian top flight Premium Liiga once, in 2014.
The club was founded as Jõhvi FC Lokomotiv in 2011 on the basis of former football club Jõhvi JK Orbiit.[2] They finished the 2013 season as Esiliiga runners-up and were promoted to the Estonian top division for the 2014 season. They were relegated after a single season, being defeated in the relegation play-offs by Viljandi Tulevik. Due to financial problems, the club was initially relegated to the fourth level for 2015 and after two seasons on lower levels, their players joined Kohtla-Järve JK Järve in 2017.
In 2018, the club was renamed as Jõhvi FC Phoenix and at first continued operating only on youth level.[3] Jõhvi rejoined the senior league system in 2020 and started competing in III liiga.
After being founded as Jõhvi Lokomotiv in 2011, the club adopted the colours red and white. In February 2018, the club was rebranded as Jõhvi Phoenix and adopted the mythical creature phoenix as their symbol. Since then, the club has affiliated themselves with the colour orange.
The club's traditional home ground is the 500-seat Jõhvi linnastaadion, which served as their first team's home ground from 2011 until 2023. After gaining promotion to Esiliiga B in 2024, it was announced that the club will host their home matches at the 794-capacity Heino Lipp Stadium.[4]
