The Government of Georgia has officially nominated prominent athletes Kakha Kaladze, Tbilisi Mayor and former football star, and Zaza Pachulia, renowned basketball player, for the esteemed Saint George’s Order of Victory, Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze announced during a recent government session.
“We have two athletes who have achieved remarkable success at the highest levels of international club tournaments. Kakha Kaladze has secured two Champions League titles, and Zaza Pachulia has triumphed three times in the NBA—twice as a player and once as a team manager. Our checks confirm they have not previously received similar honours.
While it may be somewhat belated, their outstanding accomplishments deserve recognition. Therefore, we have decided to nominate Kakha Kaladze and Zaza Pachulia for the Saint George’s Order of Victory. I would also like to thank the President and the Parliament Speaker for supporting this decision,” said Prime Minister Kobakhidze.
Additionally, the Prime Minister highlighted that Georgian football star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has also been nominated for the same distinguished award.
