'''Football Club Infonet Levadia Tallinn''', commonly known as '''FCI Levadia''', or simply as '''Levadia''', is a professional football club based in Tallinn that competes in the Meistriliiga, the top flight of Estonian football. The club's home ground is Lilleküla Stadium.

Founded in 1998 in Maardu, the club moved to Tallinn in 2000 and officially affiliated themselves with the capital city in 2004. In 2017, Levadia's first team merged with FCI Tallinn, and became FCI Levadia. Levadia has played in the Meistriliiga since the 1999 season and have never been relegated from the Estonian top division. Levadia are the second most successful club in Estonian football with 31 domestic titles; including 11 Meistriliiga titles, a record 11 Estonian Cups and 9 Estonian Supercups.

==History== ===Foundation and immediate success (1998–2003)=== Levadia was founded on 22 October 1998, when Viktor Levada's Levadia Group OÜ became the official sponsor of Maardu based Esiliiga club '''Olümp''', which subsequently changed its name to Levadia.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=FCI Levadia Ajalugu |url=https://fcilevadia.ee/history/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240621071146/https://fcilevadia.ee/ajalugu/ |archive-date=21 June 2024 |access-date= |website=FCI Levadia |language=en}}</ref> The club won the 1998 Esiliiga and were promoted to the Meistriliiga.

Under Rautiainen, Levadia finished the 2002 Meistriliiga as runners-up, only two points behind champions Flora. After the season, Rautiainen resigned and was replaced by Franco Pancheri in January 2003. Pancheri coached Levadia for just 9 Meistriliiga matches, before he was sacked in June 2003. He was replaced by Tarmo Rüütli and Levadia finished the 2003 season in third place.<ref name="hist" />

===Relocation to Tallinn and domestic dominance (2004–2016)=== thumb|Levadia's 2006 squad is considered to be one of the strongest in Estonian club football history. In 2004, Levadia officially moved to Tallinn and the club was renamed from Levadia Maardu to Levadia Tallinn, although the team had already been playing at the Kadriorg Stadium since 2000. The club's previously Tallinn-based reserve team changed its name to Levadia II. Under Rüütli, Levadia won the league in the 2004 season, but failed to defend the title in 2005, finishing as runners-up. In the 2006–07 UEFA Cup qualifying rounds, Levadia defeated Haka and Twente, both by a 2–1 aggregate score, and became the first Estonian club to reach the first round of the UEFA Cup.<ref>{{Cite web |date=25 August 2006 |title=Levadia tegi Eesti jalgpalliajalugu |url=https://www.ohtuleht.ee/sport/204426/levadia-tegi-eesti-jalgpalliajalugu |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240428205958/https://www.ohtuleht.ee/sport/204426/levadia-tegi-eesti-jalgpalliajalugu |archive-date=28 April 2024 |access-date= |website=Õhtuleht |language=et}}</ref> Levadia faced Newcastle United and were eliminated from the competition by losing 1–3 on aggregate.<ref name="hist"/> Domestically, Levadia went on to win four consecutive Meistriliiga titles in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. left|thumb|210x210px|Levadia players in 2012 In March 2008, Rüütli was hired by the Estonian FA to coach the Estonia national team and his assistant Igor Prins took over as manager. Under Prins, Levadia won the aforementioned 2008 and 2009 league titles, with the 2009 title achieved with a record 97 points. The club also lifted the Estonian Cup in 2010. In August 2010, Prins was sacked due to disagreements with the board and replaced by Levadia II manager Aleksandr Puštov. Levadia finished the 2010 season as runners-up. In July 2011, Puštov was sacked after disappointing results in the Meistriliiga and the Champions League and replaced by Sergei Hohlov-Simson. Levadia finished the 2011 season in fourth place, their lowest ever league placing since the club was promoted to the Meistriliiga. In December 2011, Marko Kristal was appointed as manager. The club won the 2011–12 Estonian Cup and finished the 2012 season as runners-up. Levadia won the Meistriliiga title in the 2013 season and defended their title in 2014, but finished the 2015 season as runners-up. In November 2015, it was announced that Sergei Ratnikov will return to Levadia after 15 years and replace Kristal as manager. Ratnikov's second tenure as Levadia's manager lasted until July 2016, when he was sacked following a 0–1 loss to Pärnu Linnameeskond. He was replaced by another returning manager, Igor Prins. Levadia finished the 2016 season as runners-up.

=== Merger with FC Infonet and 10th league title (2017–2022) === Following another second-place finish in the 2017 season, Levadia announced they will merge with FC Infonet Tallinn, the Estonian champions of 2016.<ref>{{Cite web |date=4 November 2017 |title=Jalgpallipomm: FC Levadia ja FC Infonet kavatsevad ühineda |trans-title=Breaking news: FC Levadia and FC Infonet plan to merge |url=https://sport.postimees.ee/4299579/jalgpallipomm-fc-levadia-ja-fc-infonet-kavatsevad-uhineda |access-date= |website=Postimees |language=}}</ref> The two clubs merged their first teams, becoming FCI Levadia, with FCI Tallinn's Aleksandar Rogić taking over as manager.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |date=6 November 2017 |title=Ühinevate FCI ja Levadia eesmärgiks on pääs eurosarja alagrupiturniirile |trans-title=The aim of the merging FCI and Levadia is to qualify to the group stage of a UEFA competition |url=https://sport.err.ee/640876/uhinevate-fci-ja-levadia-eesmargiks-on-paas-eurosarja-alagrupiturniirile |access-date= |website=ERR |language=}}</ref> FCI Levadia finished the 2018 season as runners-up, but won the Estonian Cup, beating rivals FC Flora 1–0 in the final.

In November 2019, former Estonia head coach Martin Reim was appointed as manager. However, after a disappointing start to the season, Martin Reim decided to resign in July 2020 and Vladimir Vassiljev took over the role.

In August 2020, Levadia's former assistant coach Marko Savić returned to the club and became joint managers with Vassiljev. In the following 2021 season, Levadia ended their 7-year Premium Liiga title drought, becoming Estonian champions in the last day of the season, after drawing 2–2 with rivals FC Flora in the title-deciding final match.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2021-12-06 |title=Levadia crowned Estonian champs after snowy final match |url=https://news.err.ee/1608426803/levadia-crowned-estonian-champs-after-snowy-final-match |access-date= |website=ERR |language=en |archive-date=28 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240428205958/https://news.err.ee/1608426803/levadia-crowned-estonian-champs-after-snowy-final-match |url-status=live }}</ref> FCI Levadia also lifted the Estonian Cup in 2021 and Estonian Supercup in February 2022, again beating Flora in both of the finals.

FCI Levadia finished the 2022 season as runners-up.

=== Recent history (2023–present) === thumb|Levadia lifting their 11th Estonian Cup on 25 May 2024 In November 2022, Levadia announced the appointment of former Spanish international Curro Torres as manager.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |date=11 November 2022 |title=FCI Levadia uueks juhendajaks saab endine Hispaania koondislane |url=https://fcilevadia.ee/uudised/fci-levadia-uueks-juhendajaks-saab-endine-hispaania-koondislane/ |access-date= |website=FCI Levadia |language=et |archive-date=25 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240525224846/https://fcilevadia.ee/uudised/fci-levadia-uueks-juhendajaks-saab-endine-hispaania-koondislane/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The club finished the 2023 season as runners-up, before winning the double in 2024 by defeating Paide Linnameeskond 4–2 in the 2023–24 Estonian Cup final and lifting their 11th Premium Liiga title at the end of the 2024 season. Levadia began the 2025 season by winning their 9th Estonian Supercup against Nõmme Kalju, but lost the 2024–25 Estonian Cup final to the same opponent on penalties three months later. The club had strengthened their team with the ambition of reaching the league phase in Europe, but after a disappointing loss in the Conference League third qualifying round, Levadia ultimately finished the 2025 league season as runners-up, and replaced Torres with Vjatšeslav Zahovaiko.<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=7 December 2025 |title=“It was very shameful”: Levada recalls decisive European defeat |url=https://balticfootballnews.com/it-was-very-shameful-levada-recalls-decisive-european-defeat/ |access-date= |website=Baltic Football News |language=en-GB}}</ref>

== Rivalries == === The Tallinn Derby === {{main|Tallinn derby}} thumb|Levadia fan sector during their match against Flora on 28 June 2023

Levadia's deepest rivalry is with FC Flora and the fixture between the two clubs is known as the Tallinn Derby ({{Langx|et|Tallinna derbi}}). Levadia and Flora are the two biggest and most successful clubs in Estonian football. The rivalry began in 1999, when Levadia entered Meistriliiga and immediately challenged the reigning champions Flora for the title, winning the treble in their first year in top-flight football.<ref>{{Citation |title=Tallinna derbi värvikas ajalugu sai alguse juba 20 aastat tagasi |date=26 April 2019 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKWZPX9Yqlg |access-date= |language=et |format=Video |archive-date=7 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231207182222/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKWZPX9Yqlg |url-status=live }}</ref> In the early 2000s, language and nationality was also one of the separating factors between the two clubs, as Levadia was seen as the club of choice for the Russian speaking population of the city and Flora for the Estonian speaking.
