Georgia vs Portugal History
Portugal, of course, boast far more experience at the European Championship compared to their underdog opponents in this fixture. The Seleção first appeared at the showpiece in 1984, making it to the semi-finals of the eight-team tournament.
With Luis Figo in attack, the Portuguese made it to the semi-finals at Euro 2000, losing out to eventual champions France. At the next tournament, held on home soil, Portugal beat England and the Netherlands to reach the final but would then lose to underdogs Greece.
Portugal lost to eventual champions Spain in the semi-finals of Euro 2012. Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo was eager to get the better of his Real Madrid teammates playing for the Spanish national team. The sides couldn't be separated in regular time but the Spaniards came out on top from the penalty spot.
The wait for a maiden European title finally came to an end in 2016 as Cristiano inspired his team to glory. The Seleção defeated Croatia, Poland and Wales before fighting off hosts France in Saint-Denis. When Portugal defeated France in the Euro 2016 final, Georgia was ranked 137th in the world and had yet to feature at the continental tournament for the first time.
Only in 2024 would Georgia finally qualify for the European Championship finals, beating Greece on penalties in the play-off finals.
