Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is a Georgian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain and the Georgia national team. He is known for his dribbling, agility and playmaking.

Early career

Coming through the youth system, Kvaratskhelia began his senior career at Dinamo Tbilisi in 2017, making his senior debut against Kolkheti-1913 Poti, coming on as a 62nd minute substitute in a 1–1 draw on 29 September 2017. In total, Kvaratskhelia made five appearances in all competitions for Dinamo Tbilisi, scoring his first goal in a 1–0 win away to Shukura Kobuleti on 19 November 2017.

International career

Youth level
Kvaratskhelia first represented Georgia at under-17 level, making his debut against Bulgaria in a 1–0 loss on 28 September 2016. In May 2017, Kvaratskhelia was part of the Georgian under-17 team that won the UEFA Development Tournament, scoring against Latvia in the final game.

On 8 November 2017, at the age of 16, Kvaratskhelia made his debut for Georgia's under-19's, coming on as a late substitute against Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2018 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification. Ten months later, on 5 September 2018, Kvaratskhelia scored his first goal for the under-19's, against the same opposition, in the first game of a double header against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Lučani, Serbia.

Early senior career
Kvaratskhelia made his debut for the Georgia national team on 7 June 2019, as a starter in a Euro 2020 qualifier against Gibraltar. On 14 October 2020, he scored his first senior international goal in a 1–1 UEFA Nations League draw with North Macedonia.

In the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification on 28 March 2021, Kvaratskhelia scored against Spain, followed by another goal three days later against Greece.

Style of play

A physically powerful and technically gifted player, Kvaratskhelia is a tall inverted left winger with a slender build, who is capable of playing anywhere across the front line. While being adept with either foot, he favours cutting inside from the left flank to strike on goal with his stronger right foot. He is also capable of playing as a second striker. He is known for his elegance, acceleration, and pace on the ball, as well as his dribbling skills and use of feints, which allow him to exploit spaces with his runs on the counter-attack. Due to his vision, finishing, crossing, and accuracy from set-pieces, he is capable of scoring goals himself or creating chances for his teammates.

Personal life

Khvicha is the son of Badri Kvaratskhelia, a Georgian footballer who played for Dinamo Tbilisi. He has two brothers, including younger brother Tornike (born 2010), who is also a footballer.

In August 2022, Kvaratskhelia revealed in an interview that he had been dating Nitsa Tavadze, a Georgian medical university student, for one year. Their marriage ceremony was held at Mtskheta's Samtavro monastery in October 2023.
