Giorgi Pantsulaia (Georgian: გიორგი ფანცულაია; born 6 January 1994) is a Georgian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Kazakhstan Premier League club Zhenis.

Pantsulaia is the son of Mamuka Pantsulaia, a joint top scorer of the inaugural season of the Georgian championship and participant of the national team's historic first official match.

Giorgi Pantsulaia was a squad member of national youth teams, including in 2013 UEFA European Under-19 Championship. He has won the Erovnuli Liga and Georgian Super Cup with Dinamo Batumi.

Career

[edit]

Panstulaia started his professional Torpedo Kutaisi at the age of 17. In a first top-league game against Kolkheti Poti he came off the bench to replace Revaz Gotsiridze on 8 March 2012. On 20 May 2012, the young forward netted his first goal in a 3–2 win over Dila Gori. His brace in a dramatic 5–4 victory over the same opponents the next season sealed the third place for Torpedo in 2013.[1]

At the end of the 2014–15 season Pantsulaia signed a two-year contract with newly promoted club Saburtalo Tbilisi.[2]

Panstulaia returned to Torpedo in 2020 and took part in 17 out of 18 games of the season shortened by COVID-19. In early 2021, he moved to Dinamo Batumi on a two-year deal.[3] In the same year, he won the league title followed by the Georgian Super Cup. Following this season, Pansulaia was included in Team of the Year.

Pantsulaia's first tenure with a foreign club was short-lived. He played with Kazakh side Kaspiy several months only, his contract being terminated on mutual agreement. He was among those eight foreign players who decided to part ways with the club due to some financial issues.[4]

In July 2023, he joined Torpedo Kutaisi for the third time.[5]

In early April 2024, Pantsulaia signed a season-long contract with Samgurali,[6] although left the club in the summer break despite being among the top five scorers of the season. On 4 July 2024, he joined Kazakh club Zhenis.[7]
