Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, 25, winger for Paris Saint-Germain, has been officially named captain of the Georgian national team. Reported by Fabrizio Romano, this announcement confirms a significant evolution in the Parisian player’s status, now expected to represent his country at the highest level.
“For me, every football player is a captain; the most important thing is to fight for each other,” the player reacted in a video.
This appointment goes beyond mere symbolism. By inheriting the captain’s armband following Guram Kashia’s international retirement, Kvaratskhelia is no longer just Georgia’s technical star; he also becomes its institutional face, the one who embodies the team and its image. For a player already exposed to the highest level with Paris Saint-Germain, this is an additional responsibility that validates his growing influence in European football.
This kind of decision is never insignificant for a national team: it dictates who should lead, speak, take responsibility, and coach others. At 25, the former Napoli player has clearly entered a new dimension, with his leadership status now officially recognized, and not simply suggested by his talent or popularity.
