Antal Yaakobishvili (born 12 July 2004) is a Hungarian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Spanish club Girona FC B.
Yaakobishvili was born in Budapest, Hungary to Georgian Jewish father; his father was born in Georgia and spent two years in Israel, enabling Israeli citizenship; his mother is Hungarian.[1] [2] His younger brother Áron is also a footballer, and plays as a goalkeeper for the youth sides of FC Barcelona.[1] [3]
Yaakobishvili moved to Barcelona in 2017 after his mother received a job offer in the city,[4] and joined the youth sides of Atlètic Sant Just FC along with his younger brother. In 2021, he was signed by Girona FC, joining their Juvenil squads.[5]
Yaakobishvili made his senior debut with Girona's reserves on 11 December 2022, starting in a 4–1 Tercera Federación home routing of CE L'Hospitalet. He scored his first senior goal the following 12 February, netting the B's second in a 2–0 away win over UE Tona.[6]
Yaakobishvili made his first team debut on 17 January 2024, coming on as a half-time substitute for Juanpe in a 3–1 home win over Rayo Vallecano, for the season's Copa del Rey.[7] [8]
On 21 January 2024, he debuted in La Liga in a 5–1 victory over Sevilla FC on the 25 game week of the 2023–24 La Liga season.[9]
Yaakobishvili has represented Hungary at under-18, under-19 and under-21 levels. In June 2023, it was reported by Israeli sports journalism outlet Sport 5 that Yaakobishvili and his brother were attempting to gain Israeli citizenship so as to represent the nation at international level.[1] However, their agent Attila Georgi denied these rumours, stating that the brothers were Hungarian and that they wanted to represent Hungary at international level.[10]
