Football Club Andijan, also known as FC Andijon and Andijon Futbol Klubi, is an Uzbek professional football club based in Andijan. The club plays in Uzbekistan Super League.

History

The club was formed 1964 under the name Spartak. In 1969, the club was renamed to Andijanez. After 1990, the club played in the Uzbek League as Navruz Andijan. Since 1997, the club has played as FK Andijan. In 1964–70, 1973–74 and 1986–91 the club played in Soviet League championships.

On 22 August 2012, the club hired Azamat Abduraimov as head coach to help Andijan remain in the top division, however the club was relegated to the Uzbekistan First League. The club finished as 2013 season runners-up after Mash'al Mubarek and gained promotion to Uzbek Super League after a single year in the First League. After the first half of the 2013 season, Andijon was 14th in the league with only 4 points. On 14 June 2014 Andijan lost an away match against Bunyodkor by 1–2. Some days later, on 20 June 2014 Azamat Abduraimov resigned. Orif Mamatkazin, as the interim of the club, was appointed as caretaker. On 26 September 2014 Edgar Gess was appointed as the club's new head coach.

On 6 October 2024, Andijon won their first ever Uzbekistan Cup, where Vladimir Bubanja scored a 120th-minute winning goal against Navbahor in the final in a 3–2 win. That was a very crucial win for the club as the club qualified to the 2025–26 AFC Champions League Two, which is first ever continental competition in club's history.
