UNBELIEVABLE: How Much Georgia Players Are Set to Earn for Euro 2024 Campaign; It’s Incredible

The Euro 2024 heroes of Georgia are expected to receive a substantial quantity of money that will significantly impact their lives as a result of their contributions to the competition this summer. In this year’s tournament, the Crusaders achieved their first qualification for a significant international tournament under the guidance of manager Will Sagnol.

The 74th ranked team in the world, which was led by stars such as Giorgi Mamardashvili and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, defied the odds to qualify from their division, which included Portugal, Turkey, and the Czech Republic. However, they were ultimately eliminated by a dominant Spain. Nevertheless, the players are anticipated to receive a financial infusion of nearly eight figures as a result of their historic accomplishment.

Bidzina Ivanishvili, an industrialist from Georgia, declared his intentions at the outset of the tournament. He stated that he would provide the squad with a total of 30 million Georgian lari (£8.4m) if they were granted qualification from Group F. This would equate to an estimated £323,000 per player, although it does not consider the potential compensation for the coaching personnel.

In their final group encounter, Georgia was able to secure their spot in the last 16 by defeating a Portugal that had undergone significant changes, 2-0. They were able to advance as one of the four best third-placed teams as a result of the victory, which earned them four points. The former politician issued a statement following the game in which he expressed his congratulations to the players on what he termed “their greatest victory.”

Ivanishvili occupies a position of considerable influence within the nation. The Georgian Dream political party, which continues to govern today, was established by the 68-year-old former Prime Minister who served from October 2012 to November 2013. He is currently the honorary chairman. Forbes estimates that Ivanishvili’s net worth is £3.87 billion. In April, the BBC also reported that specific members of the Georgia squad expressed their opposition to the Dream Party.

What is even more extraordinary is that the players could have multiplied their money, as Ivanishvili had pledged to do so if the team defeated Spain in the round of 16. Nevertheless, they were defeated by a team that was considered the favourite to win the entire tournament.

This summer will be etched in the minds of all Georgian supporters for a long time. Willy Sagnol’s team was the lowest-ranked in the competition prior to the tournament, and there was little anticipation for the debutants.

The team’s inaugural match against Turkey exhibited encouraging indicators. The Turks were repeatedly troubled by Georgia’s exceptional, free-flowing counter-attacking football, despite the team’s 3-1 loss. This was succeeded by a 1-1 draw with Czechia.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s team shocked Portugal by winning 2-0 and advancing to the next phase of the competition, a game they were required to win in order to qualify. During their visit, they encountered Spain and briefly appeared to be on the brink of causing another disruption when they unexpectedly gained an advantage.

Regrettably, Georgia’s elimination from the competition was precipitated by the overwhelming pressure exerted by Luis De La Fuente’s team, which resulted in a 4-1 loss. However, the Jvarosnebi’s future appears promising.
