Giorgi Guliashvili (Georgian: გიორგი გულიაშვილი, romanized: giorgi guliashvili; born 5 September 2001) is a Georgian professional footballer who plays as a second striker for Bosnian Premier League club Sarajevo and the Georgia national team.

Club career

[edit]

Guliashvili started playing for Saburtalo after having advanced into the first team through the academy ranks. He made a debut in Erovnuli Liga on 28 May 2019 when at the age of 17 he came on the pitch as a substitute in a 3–0 win against WIT Georgia.[1] At the end of this season Guliashvili won two nominations at the annual awards ceremony organized by the Football Federation - Goal of the Season for the goal scored in a 2–0 win over Croatia U19s and the Alexander Chivadze Golden award for under-19 players.[2]

He gradually secured a place in the team, playing for Saburtalo as a regular squad member during the next three seasons. Guliashvili netted his first top-league goal on 24 July 2020 against Torpedo Kutaisi.[3]

He left the club in January 2023 and moved to Bosnian side Sarajevo for an undisclosed fee.[4][5] In August 2023, he was loaned to Velež for one season. While the latter finished 3rd in the league, Guliashvili was selected among the best eleven players of the season.[6]

In 2025, Guliashvili contributed to his team with four goals as Sarajevo won the Bosnian Cup.[7] He was named Player of the Season by the Union of Bosnian Football Players.[8]

International career

[edit]

Guliashvili has represented Georgia at all youth levels.[9] He was first called up to the national U17 team. In the autumn of 2016, he played all three matches of the 2017 UEFA European Championship 1st qualifying round. After taking part in another season of the U17 campaign in 2017–18, Guliashvili joined the U19s, scoring a hat-trick in the debut game against Liechtenstein.[10]

Guliashvili was a member of the Georgia national under-21 team. He shone with a brace in a friendly 3–2 win against England on 16 November 2021.[11] Later Guliashvili featured in each of the four matches Georgia held in 2023 UEFA European championship, scoring a leveller against Belgium.[12]

Although on the team sheet for the UEFA Nations League ties against Ukraine and Albania in October 2024, Guliashvili made his debut appearance for the national team in a 6–1 playoff win over Armenia on 23 March 2025.[13]
