FC Tallinn is a professional football club based in Tallinn, Estonia. Founded in 2017, the club competes in Esiliiga, the second-highest division of Estonian football.

History

FC Tallinn was founded on 17 November 2017[1] and started operating in Lasnamäe, the most populous district in Tallinn of which majority is Russian-speaking. The club was created after FC Infonet's merger with Levadia left Lasnamäe's football future in uncertainty.[2] The club entered the Estonian league system in 2018 and quickly rose to Esiliiga B, which they won in the 2022 season after narrowly beating JK Tabasalu in the last second of the final matchday.[3]
