The Tskhinvali Post

Irfan Ozan puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Tskhinvali, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Avtandil Mchedlidze

Successful dribbles: 28. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match29 Aug 2026

Whatever happens, Tskhinvali do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Market31 Aug 2026

Eyes on Fyodor Zubkov again

The phone has started ringing about Fyodor Zubkov again, and this time the name on the line is Guria. Tskhinvali are listening politely and promising nothing.

Words at Tskhinvali training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Irfan Ozan 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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Irfan Ozan

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Irfan Ozan, and the manager let it.

The afternoon belonged to Levan Kashia

A mark of 7.09, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Match29 Aug 2026

Point won or two lost for Tskhinvali?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Lokomotivi? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tornike Tsitaishvili left out for tactical reasons at Tskhinvali

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market24 Aug 2026

Samtredia come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Tskhinvali did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market24 Aug 2026

Temur Tsitaishvili asks to leave Tskhinvali

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Avtandil Mchedlidze runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Levan Kharabadze falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Levan Kashia in the eights

A performance of 8.00 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

A masterclass from Beka Gvelesiani

Marked 8.01 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Lasha Tsitaishvili 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 Tskhinvali this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match22 Aug 2026

Tskhinvali share the spoils with Sioni

A 2‑2 draw with Sioni leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Tskhinvali

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Match8 Aug 2026

Tskhinvali run riot against Sapovnela

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Saba Kobiashvili breaks a bone — 26 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 26 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Both of them Beka Gvelesiani's — 8.25

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.25, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market10 Aug 2026

Al-Ittihad watching Maksim Martynov

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Tskhinvali have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Levan Kashia signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Levan Kashia commits to Tskhinvali for another 3 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Maksim Martynov 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 Tskhinvali this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Shota Lobjanidze gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Avtandil Mchedlidze runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. 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

Nika Ananidze told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Nika Ananidze has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Tskhinvali.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Tskhinvali

Maksim Martynov 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.

Levan Kashia knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Levan Kashia trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Temur Tsitaishvili told to find a new club
