History.
In the Soviet leagues.
Founded in 1949, the club is named after a poem titled "Dila" and written by Joseph Stalin, who was born in the city and spent his youth there. 
Until 1961 they played under the name Dinamo Gori in Group A of Georgian republican championship. Following the second place in 1965, the next year Dila took part in the Soviet third league and despite an unbeaten run at home finished 11th among 20 clubs in zone 4, Group B. 
In 1969 Dila won the competition among the Caucasian teams. The club played several seasons in zone 4 of the Soviet Second League and after 1979 moved to zone 9 where Transcaucasia was represented. In 1967, 1974 and 1986 Dila reached the 3rd place which was their best result in the Soviet third division.
In the Georgian leagues.
In 1990 Georgia formed an independent league which included all clubs from first three Soviet football divisions. Before 2000 Dila were an average team sitting in mid-table, but in the second decade their performance deteriorated. Although most of the seasons Dila participated in the top league, twice they were relegated to Liga 2 and once to Liga 3.
In 2010 the rise started with Dila getting two consecutive promotions within two years. In 2012 the club won the Georgian Cup for the first time and during the next five seasons four times represented Georgia in qualifying rounds of UEFA club competitions, including the Champions League. The latter was made possible after the victorious 2014/15 season under 25-year-old head coach Ucha Sosiashvili. Also, twice in a row Dila participated in Europa League play-offs.
In 2016 facing some financial difficulties FC Dila Gori as a municipal property was sold at a public auction. Since then an Israeli business group has been an owner of the club.
The 2020 season was successful for Dila, who prevailed over Locomotive Tbilisi in a tight contest to claim bronze medals and obtain the right to take part in UEFA Conference League qualifying round for 2021/22.
