History

edit
 
Jõhvi Phoenix (then named Jõhvi Lokomotiv) during the 2014 Premium Liiga season

The club was founded as Jõhvi FC Lokomotiv in 2011 on the basis of former football club Jõhvi JK Orbiit.[2] They finished the 2013 season as Esiliiga runners-up and were promoted to the Estonian top division for the 2014 season. They were relegated after a single season, being defeated in the relegation play-offs by Viljandi Tulevik. Due to financial problems, the club was initially relegated to the fourth level for 2015 and after two seasons on lower levels, their players joined Kohtla-Järve JK Järve in 2017.

In 2018, the club was renamed as Jõhvi FC Phoenix and at first continued operating only on youth level.[3] Jõhvi rejoined the senior league system in 2020 and started competing in III liiga.
