Georgia national under-17 football team

The Georgia national under-17 football team represents the country of Georgia in association football at the under-17 youth level, and is controlled by the Georgian Football Federation.

The team is for Georgian players aged 17 or under at the start of a two-year European Under-17 Football Championship cycle, so players can be up to 19 years old.

Last year(2023) they defeated Denmark's U17 team (2-1), which is sensational.1 day before EURO U-17 qualification round,14 players got flu which led to Georgia's defeat against Serbia and Denmark,but they still managed to defeat Turkey (3-1),but it wasn't enough to qualify from Elite Round.

საქართველოს 17-წლამდელთა ნაკრები წარმოადგენს საქართველოს ასოციაციის ფეხბურთში 17-წლამდელთა ახალგაზრდულ დონეზე და მას აკონტროლებს საქართველოს ფეხბურთის ფედერაცია.
 

გუნდი განკუთვნილია 17 წლამდე ასაკის ქართველი ფეხბურთელებისთვის, 17-წლამდელთა ევროპის ჩემპიონატის ორწლიანი ციკლის დაწყებისას, ამიტომ მოთამაშეები გახდებიან 19 წლამდე.

წინა წელს(2023) მათ დაამარცხეს დანიის 17 წლამდელთა ნაკრები,რაც სენსაციაა.1 დღით ადრე EURO U-17 საკვალიფიკაციო რაუნდამდე 14 ფეხბურთელს ვირუსი დაემართა,რის გამოც ისინი დამარცხდნენ სერბეთთან და დანიასთან,მათ მოახერხეს თურქებისთვის მოგება(3-1),თუმცა ეს საკმარისი არ აღმოჩნდა ელიტ რაუნდიდან გასასვლელად.

Competition history

Prior to Georgia's independence in 1991 Georgian players were eligible for selection to the Soviet Union U-16 team. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Georgian Football Federation was admitted to UEFA as a full member in 1992, and the team played their first competitive matches in the first phase of the qualifying tournament for the 1994 European U-16 Championship. Georgia U-17's competitive debut came on 21 October 1993 against Switzerland U-17 and they finished their first qualifying campaign as 3rd out of 3 teams, behind Switzerland and Slovenia.^[1]

The team's first successful campaign was for the 1997 European U-16 Championship, in which they failed to progress from the group stage after three defeats to Hungary, Italy and Belgium.^[2] Their second appearance came in the first tournament staged following UEFA's renaming of youth levels in the 2002 European U-17 Championship, in which they were knocked out in the quarter-final by later champions Switzerland U-17s.^[3] In 2012 Georgia made it through to the semi-finals but lost 2–0 to the Netherlands.
