The FC Norma Tallinn was one of the most successful Estonian football clubs. The name of the association comes from the Tallinn factory Norma (founded in 1891), an Estonian automotive supplier. Home stadium was the Norma Staadion (today Maarjamäe Staadion ) with a capacity of 1000 visitors.

Club history

The association was founded in 1959. He participated in 32 championships of the Estonian SSR , which is a record in Estonian football history. FC Norma Tallinn has won the Estonian SSR five times (1964, 1967, 1970, 1979, 1988) and six times the Estonian SSR Cup winners (1962, 1965, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1988).

The club was the first two times Estonian champions (1992, 1992/93) and one time Estonian cup winners (1993/94). The club was particularly popular with Tallinn's Russian-speaking minority .
