About Georgia

The Georgian Football Federation (GFF) was originally established in 1936 as part of the Soviet Union's football structure. Following Georgia's declaration of independence, the federation was re-established as an independent body on 15 February 1990 and gained both FIFA and UEFA affiliation in 1992. Headquartered in Tbilisi, the GFF oversees the Erovnuli Liga and manages national teams for men, women, and youth across all age categories, as well as futsal.

During the Soviet era, Georgian clubs — most notably Dinamo Tbilisi — were a dominant force in Soviet football, with Dinamo winning the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1981, one of the most celebrated moments in Georgian football history. Players such as Kakha Kaladze and Shota Arveladze later became prominent figures in top European club football.

A landmark achievement for the independent national team came at UEFA Euro 2024, when Georgia qualified for a major tournament for the first time in their history and reached the Round of 16, defeating Portugal 2–0 in the group stage. Levan Kobiashvili has served as GFF president since 2015 and has been a key figure in the federation's modernisation and international development.
