The team's largest victory came on 30 March 1997 when they defeated Armenia by seven goals to nil in a friendly.[7] Their worst loss is an 6–1 against Denmark in 2005.[7] Georgia have also been defeated by five goals to nil against Romania in 1996.[7] Levan Kobiashvili holds the appearance record for Georgia, having been capped 100 times during an international career that lasted 15 years.[8] The goalscoring record is held by Shota Arveladze, who scored 26 times in 61 matches.[9] As of June 2016, Georgia are ranked 137th in the FIFA World Rankings.[10] Its highest ever ranking of 42nd was achieved in September 1998.[11]

Notes

  1. ↑ Originally scheduled for Tbilisi, Georgia but moved to neutral venue due to the 2008 South Ossetia war. The original replacement venue was the Wildparkstadion in Karlsruhe, Germany, but the ground became unavailable, so it was moved to the Stadion am Bruchweg in Mainz.[12]
