Georgia's Historic Euro 2024 Run Rewarded with £8.4 Million Cash Prize
The former Prime Minister and billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili has awarded Georgia's national football team a staggering £8.4 million cash prize for reaching the knockout stage of Euro 2024. This generous gesture comes after the team's remarkable 2-0 victory over Portugal, which secured their spot in the tournament's last-16.
Georgia, participating in their inaugural European Championship, faced a daunting task as they entered their final group stage match against Portugal at the bottom of the table. However, Napoli's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Georges Mikautadze's impressive goalscoring efforts secured a stunning upset, propelling the team to the next round.
As reported by the Georgian Times, Ivanishvili's pledge of £8.4 million (equivalent to 30 million Georgian Lari) recognizes the team's outstanding achievement. This incentive comes as Georgia prepares to face Spain in the last-16, with the potential for even greater rewards on the horizon.
This historic moment marks a significant milestone for Georgian football, with the team's 74th global ranking defying expectations. Ivanishvili's generosity has not only rewarded the team's hard work but also inspired a nation, fueling excitement for the upcoming match against Spain.
