Founded in 1936, FC Borjomi participated in the Georgian regional championship for many years.

From 1993/94 they spent several seasons in the second and third division. In 2004/05 Borjomi finished 2nd in Liga 2{{cite web |title=FC Borjomi in 2004/05 |url=https://int.soccerway.com/national/georgia/pirveli-liga/20042005/regular-season/r19580/ |publisher=wildstat.com}} and got promoted to Umaglesi Liga, where the club competed for four seasons.

The fifth place in 2005/06 is the best result Borjomi have achieved in Georgian leagues. It is noteworthy that the club won 14 home games out of 15, including against the top three leaders.{{cite web |title=Borjomi in 2005/06 season |url=http://wildstat.com/p/7701/ch/GEO_1_2005_2006/stg/all/tour/all/club1/GEO_FC_Borjomi |publisher=wildstat}}

In the 2007/08 season Borjomi won the group stage of David Kipiani Cup and reached the semifinals,{{cite web |title=David Kipiani Cup 2007-08 |url=https://int.soccerway.com/national/georgia/david-kipiani-cup/2007-2008/s2413/final-stages/ |publisher=soccerway.com}} but the next year the club finished in the bottom place and quit the league.

A few years later Borjomi experienced some significant revival. Having convincingly won the third division in 2014, the next year team achieved great progress towards the return to the top league. As the runners-up, they booked a place for promotion play-off game against Locomotive. This dramatic final match ended 3–3 and the winner of the tie was determined after the penalty shoot-out.{{cite web |title="ლოკომოტივმა" უმაღლესს დაუმიზნა |url=https://sportall.ge/fexburti/qarthuli-fekhburthi/chempionati/79038-borjomi-lokomotivi-33-pen-24-qlokomotivmaq-umaghless-daumizna-video.html |website=sportall.ge (in Georgian), 25 May 2015}}

Shortly some harsh times followed with two relegations within four seasons. Borjomi sank to a low ebb in 2019 when they failed to preserve a place in the third division.{{cite web |title=Liga 3 in 2019 |url=http://liga.gff.ge/?season=7&league=3 |publisher=gff.ge}} Аs a result, the head coach was replaced and 90% of players parted ways with the club.{{cite web |title="ფეხბურთელების 90% დავითხოვეთ" - რა ბედი ეწევა კლუბ "ბორჯომს" |url=http://old.sknews.ge/index.php?newsid=25702 |website=sknews.ge (in Georgian), 31 January 2020}}

The club's home ground is a stadium named after Borjomi-born player Jemal Zeinklishvili, who was a member of Dinamo Tbilisi squad during their victorious season in the Soviet Top league in 1964.

The arena was announced unfit for hosting official matches in 2020, which forced the local municipal authorities to unveil reconstruction plans.{{cite web |title="სტადიონი ამორტიზებულია" – "ბორჯომი" ლიგის საშინაო მატჩებს მცხეთაში გამართავსა |url=http://old.sknews.ge/index.php?newsid=28890 |website=sknews.ge (in Georgian), 12 August 2020}} In March 2024, an eighteen-month rehabilitation project was announced.{{cite web |title=ბორჯომში ჯემალ ზეინკლიშვილის სახელობის ცენტრალური საფეხბურთო მოედნის სრული რეაბილიტაცია იწყება |url=https://www.bpn.ge/article/121975-borjomshi-jemal-zeinklishvilis-saxelobis-centraluri-sapexburto-moednis-sruli-reabilitacia-icqeba |website=bpn.ge |access-date=20 March 2024}}
