Giorgi Kochorashvili (Georgian: გიორგი ქოჩორაშვილი|tr; born 29 June 1999) is a Georgian professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Spanish club Levante UD and the Georgia national team.[1]
Born in Tbilisi, Kochorashvili played youth football for Saburtalo Tbilisi. He made his first team debut on 23 July 2017, playing the last 16 minutes in a 2–1 home loss against Torpedo Kutaisi.
In August 2017, Kochorashvili was loaned to Girona FC for two years, and was assigned to the youth setup. On 26 June of the following year, after finishing his formation, he was assigned to the farm team in Segunda División B.[2]
On 19 July 2019, after Girona's offer was rejected by Saburtalo,[3] Kochorashvili signed a three-year contract with Levante UD, being immediately assigned to the reserves also in the third division.[4] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 12 July of the following year, coming on as a late substitute for Rubén Rochina in a 2–1 home loss against Athletic Bilbao.[5]
On 30 August 2022, Kochorashvili was loaned to Primera Federación side CD Castellón for the season.[6]
Kochorashvili represented Georgia at under-19, under-21 and absolute levels. He made a debut for the senior team on 12 September 2023 in a 2–1 loss to Norway.[7]
Kochorashvili took part in both UEFA Euro 2024 play-off matches, converting from the spot in a penalty shoot-out against Greece on 26 March 2024.[8]
In the summer of 2024, Kochorashvili was selected to represent Georgia in Euro 2024, which was the nation's first international tournament as an independent country. In the nation's first match against Turkey, Kochorashvili assisted Georges Mikautadze in the 32nd minute with a cross into the box - Georgia's first goal in a international tournament.[9]
