Georgia’s Under-21 national football team qualified for the Euro 2025 playoff for the first time after defeating North Macedonia 2:1 at the Ramaz Shengelia Stadium in Kutaisi.

The team won the Group C fixture to secure the place for the playoffs, with the win following their 2:3 defeat to Sweden.

The latter also lost 3:0 to the Netherlands, which, combined with the result of the match in Kutaisi, meant Georgia finished second in the group with 19 points.
