Andria Bartishvili (Georgian: ანდრია ბართიშვილი, born on 30 March 2009) is a Georgian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Erovnuli Liga club Iberia 1999, on loan from Kolkheti 1913.

Club career

Bartishvili is a product of the youth academy of Dinamo Tbilisi. He was ten years old when he was named Player of the 2018 Bendela Cup held among U10 and U11 teams.[1] The next autumn, Bartishvili shone first at the Qabala Unity Cup as the best striker and topscorer,[2] followed by the U11 Ateitis Cup tournament, organized by Lithuania, where he was selected as the best midfielder.[3]

In 2022, while Dinamo U13 won an international tournament in Batumi, Bartishvili was voted as the best player.[4]

In April 2023, Bartishvili received the same recognition in Italy despite his U14 team finishing 4th at another international competition.[5] A year later, at an annual awards ceremony held by the Georgian Football Federation, he was presented with the Aleksandre Chivadze silver medal for U17 players.[6]

As Bartishvili moved to Kolkheti 1913 prior to the 2025 season, he was named by La Gazzetta Georgia among the six promising young players expected to shine this year.[7] He made his first Erovnuli Liga appearance in a 1–0 away win over Samgurali on 1 April 2025, becoming the youngest player of the season at 16 years and two days.[8][9] At the end of the year, Bartishvili was named the best U17 player and awarded the golden medal.[10]

In January 2026, Bartishvili signed for Iberia 1999 on a year-long loan deal.[11] His first Erovnuli Liga goal came in a 1–0 win over Gagra on 20 May.[12]

International career

Bartishvili was initially a member of the national U15 team which took part in an international tournament held in Yerevan in May 2023.[13] A year later, he joined the U16s for UEFA Development Cup games hosted by Chișinău.[14]

In September 2024, Bartishvili was called up for U17 friendlies against Slovakia and Moldova.[15] He was also in a starting line-up for all five qualifying matches that Georgia played during the 2024–25 season, scoring twice. His debut goal came against Slovenia on 9 October 2024.[16]

In June 2025, Bartishvili was dubbed the new Kvaratskhelia following his stunning individual performance and a brace against Kazakhstan U17 during a three-team international tournament held in Qabala.[17]

On 27 March 2026, Bartishvili made his debut for the U21 team as Georgia hosted Latvia in their 2027 UEFA European Championship campaign.[18]
