FC Dinamo Sukhum

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Appears to be an amateur team as far as I can see, I don't see enough for WP:FOOTYN. Sources are very weak. I also feel this AfD is testing the waters a bit as I don't really know football in Abkhazia, Georgia. But as far as I can see, Georgia has top four levels, and this team appears to play below that level and is regional. However there seems to be indication that football in Abkhazia region maybe being played independently of the main state of Georgia. Govvy (talk) 12:05, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom, team with very limited coverage playing in regional league. GiantSnowman 15:31, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Probably keep Of all the Abkhazian teams you could have picked to AfD, this one is the most confusing since they could easily be confused with Dinamo Sukhumi, which is an Abkhazian team which plays in the Georgian league system. A "Dinamo Sukhumi" also played in the Soviet second division in 1991 and I cannot figure out if this team is new, related, or recreated to play in Abkhazia while the other team went off to play in Georgia. The Abkhazian system I believe is completely separate from the Georgian football system so they play in a quasi-top-flight league. Receives local coverage (youth tournament, the first one I found - I don't think Sputnik is considered reliable, but I don't see why this would be unreliable) and have won local honours. I also searched for Naft Sukhum in Russian and found coverage of the league, so my assumption is that WP:GNG would be met, but this is not straightforward due to language and political difficulties.
