Nobody could get near Junior Brítez

Successful dribbles: 64. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Bachana Kvaratskhelia breaks a bone — 77 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 77 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Nika Ananidze damages knee ligaments — 106 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 106 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market31 Aug 2026

Saburtalo turn down Dinamo Tbilisi for Khvicha Shengelia

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market31 Aug 2026

Archil Ananidze hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Saburtalo can pretend not to have heard.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Saburtalo

Jemal Tabidze 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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Words at Saburtalo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Cleiderman Osorio 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.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

The afternoon belonged to Aleksandre Chakvetadze

7.91, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Saburtalo had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Match29 Aug 2026

Saburtalo and Samtredia take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Bachana Kvaratskhelia breaks a bone — 84 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 84 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match22 Aug 2026

Saburtalo tear Sapovnela apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 8‑1 against Sapovnela, and it could have been more.

Match19 Aug 2026

The cup run ends for Saburtalo

0‑1 against Dila, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A day Junior Brítez will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Aleksandre Chakvetadze scores twice — 8.12

Two goals and a mark of 8.12 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market24 Aug 2026

Beka Kvaratskhelia hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Saburtalo can pretend not to have heard.

Market24 Aug 2026

Samtredia come back empty-handed

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

Squad24 Aug 2026

Jemal Tabidze 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 Saburtalo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match22 Aug 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

9 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Saburtalo and Sapovnela in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Khvicha Shengelia scores twice — 8.26

Two goals and a mark of 8.26 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Nobody could get near Guram Lobjanidze

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Khvicha Shengelia 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 Saburtalo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match1 Aug 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Saburtalo and Kolkheti in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Archil Daraselia 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.

Market3 Aug 2026

Eyes on Beka Kvaratskhelia again

The phone has started ringing about Beka Kvaratskhelia again, and this time the name on the line is Sioni. Saburtalo are listening politely and promising nothing.

Match1 Aug 2026

Khvicha Shengelia rescues a point for Saburtalo

It needed Khvicha Shengelia to find the net to bring anything home at all: 3‑3 against Kolkheti, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Daniele Canali stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Daniele Canali and Saburtalo agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Aleksandre Chakvetadze asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
