Georgia's national football team has made a historic entry into the knockout stages of Euro 2024, defeating Portugal 2-0 with goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Georges Mikautadze. This victory is monumental for Georgia, which is competing in its first major international tournament. The win over Portugal, despite them fielding several reserve players, is considered one of the biggest upsets in European Championship history. The political backdrop in Georgia, marked by protests and a controversial 'foreign agent' law, contrasts with the unity and joy brought by the football team's success. Georgia will face Spain in the Round of 16, a formidable opponent given Spain's strong performance in the group stages. This achievement has ignited celebrations in Georgia, symbolizing a significant moment of national pride and unity.
