Guram Kashia, captain of Georgia’s national football team, talked at the press conference before the debut match at the European Championship. The captain of the national team talked about the Georgian fans and said that they are always worth fighting for.

“These are the best days of our lives. The whole country lives for football. They are only talking about football. One fan came from Georgia by scooter. He traveled 4000 kilometers and brought us the wishes of Georgian fans. These emotions and these people are always worth fighting for.

I know a lot of people have saved money to come here. We know that we represent our country and we will try to present ourselves properly. The Georgian fans love football and they have been waiting for this day for 30 years.

I do not know if you have seen the video but I almost passed out from happiness. It was really one of the best memories that I collect from my career. It is always special when you make your country proud of you. Now we are here, we want to fight like never before. There is no time for celebration now. It is time to fight and we want to show everyone that we deserve to be here”, - said Kashia.

Georgia – Turkey match will be held on June 18. The match will start at 20:00 Tbilisi time.
