A knee injury of the worst kind for Niko Datković

107 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Sioni lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Gela Bendeliani keeps Sioni in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 10 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Bantu Mzwakali, 33, rolls back the years — 8.15

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.15 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Etem Xhemali signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Etem Xhemali commits to Sioni for another 4 years.

Guðmann Þórisson in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Sioni this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match7 Aug 2027

Sioni come up short against Dila

Dila left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

A fracture rules Otar Gagnidze out for 52 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Samtredia will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Boardroom8 Feb 2027

Gleb Loyko signs for Sioni while still at Samtredia

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Gleb Loyko has agreed terms with Sioni for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Tempers go at Samtredia

Olav Øby was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Alam Garcete breaks a bone — 44 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 44 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Tempers go at Sioni

Guðmann Þórisson was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Boardroom8 Feb 2027

Sioni beat the market to Gleb Loyko from Samtredia

Samtredia will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Gleb Loyko has pre-agreed a move to Sioni, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Julen Cordero runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 32. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market10 Aug 2026

Samtredia say no — this time

The offer from Sapovnela for Zurab Gigashvili was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Artur Pląskowski signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Artur Pląskowski commits to Samtredia for another 2 years.

Words at Samtredia training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Efrén Mendoza is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market10 Aug 2026

Talks stall between Samtredia and Giuli Manjgaladze

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market10 Aug 2026

48 months and counting on Tsotne Chikovani

Still no offer on the table, and Tsotne Chikovani’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Market10 Aug 2026

A long bet from Samtredia on Gleb Loyko

He is 19, and nobody at Samtredia signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Squad10 Aug 2026

The manager has not finished forgetting Tornike Jangidze's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.
