Jalgpalliklubi Narva Trans, commonly known as Narva Trans or simply Trans, is an Estonian professional football club based in Narva that competes in the Meistriliiga, the top flight of Estonian football. Although the club's traditional home ground is Kreenholm Stadium, they currently play their home matches at Kalev-Fama Stadium.

The club was founded as Avtomobilist in 1979, changed their name to Autobaas in 1989 and Narva Trans in 1992. Narva Trans were one of the founding members of the Meistriliiga and are one of two clubs which have never been relegated from the Estonian top division, along with Flora. Narva Trans have won three Estonian Cups and two Estonian Supercups.

History

The club was founded in 1979 as Avtomobilist by the workers of the Motor Depot 13 in Narva. In 1984, the club was promoted to the Estonian SSR Championship, but was relegated at the end of the season. The club returned to the top division in 1987, but was relegated again after finishing the season last. In 1989, the club changed its name to Autobaas and returned to the top division once again. In 1992, the club changed the name to Narva Trans and became founding members of the new Meistriliiga, finishing the inaugural season in seventh place. Narva Trans finished the 1994–95 season in third place. The club made their European debut in the 1996 UEFA Intertoto Cup.

Narva Trans won their first trophy in the 2000–01 Estonian Cup. The club came third in the 2005 season and finished as runners-up in 2006, their best league finish to this date. The team won the Estonian Supercup in 2007 and 2008. Narva Trans finished third for four consecutive seasons in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.[1] The team won their second Estonian Cup trophy in the 2018–19 season, defeating Nõmme Kalju 2–1 in extra time in the final. In 2023, Narva Trans won their third Estonian Cup by defeating FC Flora 2–1 in the 2022–23 final.

Narva Trans uses the Kalev-Fama artificial turf stadium as its home ground during winter and early spring months. Renovated in 2013, the stadium complex is also the training base of the club.

In 2024, Narva opened an indoor football facility named Narva Jalgpallihall, which serves as the club's training ground during the snowy winter period. With the construction cost of €7 million, it is the most expensive football hall built in Estonia.[3]

Crest and colours

The former crest which was introduced in 1997, featured the logo of Narva Auto AS, the transport enterprise that was the basis on which the football club was founded.[4] The colour scheme reflected the colours of the city's flag - yellow and blue.

The logo of the club was modernised in 2018. The central part of the current crest of Narva Trans features the city's main symbol Narva Hermann Castle, and the logo of Narva Auto AS. The crest carries the club's colours, which are red and blue.[4]
