The development of football in Georgia It is a fact that. The country is playing its first Euro Cup, made history and unexpectedly is now in the round of 16 as a rival of Spainwith whom he shared the qualifying stage and got to know him well.
He will try to give another surprise Georgiawho had great work from the Federation behind him to get to this moment, but had to share half of this honor with Dinamo Tbilisi. At least in the second way, because the historic Georgian club has become the great youth academy of its country and has trained most of the internationals on the list of Willy Sagnol.
There are no other options here European Cup that there are as many players who have worn the shirt of both clubs at one point in their career. And of the 26 participants with Georgia in Germany, only Lasha Dvali, Solomon Kvirkvelia, Giorgi Gocholeishvili, Sandro Altunashvili, Georgy Tsitaishvili and Georges Mikautadze did not wear their colours.
What really stands out is not only that the remaining 20 played on Dinamo Tbilisia team from the capital of Georgia (Tbilisi), but except for four, all the others went through the club’s academy, that is, they were trained as footballers where it is clear that this is the best academy to grow up.
This is the case of nothing more and nothing less than Kvicha Kvaratskhelia and Giorgi Mamardashvili, the two stars of the country. And they coincided in space and time at Dinamo Tblisi because only one year separated them both, who at a young age took a new path until they reached the elite.
Next year, on September 1, Dinamo Tbilisi, whose players are known as gladiators, a true reflection of the Georgian team, will celebrate 100 years of history. It is one of the football institutions, as it also competes in basketball, with more titles in its showcases and during the time of the Soviet Union it was one of the most important.
Their greatest success at European level was winning the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1981, while at national level they lifted 43 trophies, and they were regular participants in European competitions, even playing in the Champions League on 14 occasions.
