Football is one of the most popular sports in Georgia.[1][2][3] It is governed by the Georgian Football Federation (GFF). The GFF organises the men's, women's, and futsal national teams.
Georgian Football Federation was established in 1936 and remained a member of the USSR Football Federation from then until 1989. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the Football Federation of Independent Georgia was founded on February 15, 1990.
It is believed that modern Georgian football was introduced by English sailors who played in Poti at the beginning of the 20th century.[3]
