In the framework of enhancing the country’s sports infrastructure, Georgia is set to build a new 70,000-capacity stadium on the outskirts of Tbilisi. The goal of the project, announced by Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, is to distinguish Georgia as one of the major players in international tournaments and will greatly benefit Georgia’s chances to host the 2028 UEFA Champions League final.
The stadium will be designed with multifunctional capacities to properly accommodate major football and rugby events, as well as concerts and events of other sorts to attract tourism and investments. Per the announcement, a Dutch company and UEFA experts work in collaboration to supervise the process and deliver a product that meets international standards.
“This is more than just a stadium—it’s a project that will elevate Georgia’s image and strengthen its role in global sports,” Kobakhidze stated.
Besides the mentioned stadium, the government is about to launch a large-scale project aiming to build stadiums in over 40 municipalities. The decision was overviewed at the meeting which included Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze, Sports Minister Shalva Gogoladze, and Infrastructure Minister Irakli Karseladze, where they discussed the initiative’s potential to attract investments and international events.
