Giorgi Moistrapishvili is a Georgian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Erovnuli Liga club Dinamo Tbilisi.

Club career

Moistrapishvili started his youth career at Dinamo Tbilisi, the most successful club in Georgian history,[1] In 2020, Moistrapishvili joined fellow Erovnuli Liga team FC Telavi.[2] Moistrapishvili made his senior debut for Telavi in 2020 while on loan there, in a 1–1 draw against FC Locomotive Tbilisi, coming on as a 69th-minute substitute for Tsotne Mosiashvili.[3]

During his loan spell there he would record one goal in 12 appearances in all competitions, the winner in a 2–1 win over Chikhura Sachkhere in November 2020.[4]

When he returned to Dinamo Tbilisi he finally broke into the first team and made his debut in February 2021 in a 1–1 draw against Samgurali coming on as a 79th-minute substitute for Anzor Mekvabishvili.[5] He had to wait until September of that year though to score his first goal for the club and after many substitute appearances, he netted the fifth in a 5–1 win over Samtredia.[6] Overall that season he made 13 appearances, scoring 2 goals.

After being forced to play a bit part role for Dinamo in the 2021 season, the next season Moistrapishvili established himself as a regular starter under new manager Giorgi Tchiabrishvili. Moistrapishvili scored 7 goals and recorded 8 assists to help the side to the league title, gaining attention from top European teams such as Sassuolo.[7]

On 5 September 2023, Moistsrapishvili joined Challenger Pro League club Beveren on a season-long loan with the option to make the transfer permanent.[8] The loan was terminated early in March 2024.[9]

International career

Moistrapishvili has represented Georgia at two youth levels, U19 and U21. He scored 3 goals in 11 games for the under 19 side. Moistrapishvili was selected for the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship and was part of the side that topped Group A ahead of Portugal, Belgium and Netherlands, before being eliminated on penalties in the quarter-finals by Israel, with Moistrapishvili scoring his penalty.[10]
