Georgia

The Georgia national football team—nicknamed Jvarosnebi (“The Crusaders”)—secured its first-ever qualification for a major tournament at UEFA Euro 2024 and advanced to the Round of 16, including a stunning 2–0 win over Portugal. Their football journey began post-independence with their first match in 1990, and after years of steady progress, they triumphed in Euro 2024 to showcase a new era in Georgian football.
