2016

Season 2016

From this season Rumori Calcio officially debuted in Estonian club football by participating into IV.Liiga (Estonia’s 6th and last tier of the football pyramid). The also organized a second team (Rumori Calcio II) that took part into Rahvaliiga-B (non league) organized by the Estonian FA.

IV.LIIGA Northern/Western  (10.04.2016 – 09.10-2016)

In an unbelievable fashion, Rumori Calcio came literally back from the dead with 10 wins in the last 11 games (8 wins and 1 loss in the second part of the season) to close the season 3rd and earning an historical promotion to III.Liiga (5th of 6 tiers) for 2017.
After a slow start (3 points in 7 games) the Skyblues started to roll over one opponents after the other. The last 2 games of the first part gave Rumori the first two wins of the season. On the resume, Rumori Calcio started to win one game after the other for a streak of 8 wins in a row that skyrocketed the club’s ambitions to 3rd place.
The streak was eventually halted by Trummi SK (group winners and also promoted to III.Liiga) but the Skyblues immediately resumed the march towards promotion with another set of wins which gave them the promotion 5 points clear of FC Toompea.

After a tough game, Rumori managed to win with the same score within regular time (4-3).
The 1/8 finals draw gave Rumori Calcio players the chance to square up with an Estonian top-flight club as JK Tammeka Tartu. In the third trip to Tartu of the season (including the one in Amateurs Cup vs. Fauna) Rumori managed to hold Tammeka on 0-0 for 40′.
