Career

Club

[edit]

A product of Saburtalo's academy, Kapanadze played with first three clubs as a loanee. He started his professional career at Rustavi who had just earned their historic promotion to the Erovnuli Liga. Kapanadze made his top-flight debut on 23 September 2018 against Dila.[1] The next year Rustavi were relegated, although Kapanadze won this first national individual award as an under-19 player.[2] After a one-year stint with Locomotive, he moved to Telavi in 2021.

In January 2023, Kapanadze finally returned to his childhood team.[3] In the following two seasons with Saburtalo, who were named as Iberia 1999 in early 2024, Kapanadze won two top titles. First, he played all five games of their victorious cup campaign,[4] followed by the 2024 league season in which Kapanadze featured in all 36 matches. After this season the player was named in Team of the Year.[5]

In January 2025, Kapanadze joined Slovak Super Liga side DAK 1904 on a deal until the summer of 2026.[6]

International

[edit]

Kapanadze was 15 years old, when he made an official international debut with U17s against Finland on 30 September 2016.[7] Later he was called up by coach Georgi Nemsadze for the 2018 UEFA European under-17 championship elite round.[8]

In October 2019, Kapanadze played in all three 2020 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualifiers.

Soon he joined U21s. Kapanadze bagged a brace in a 2–0 friendly win over Romania on 3 June 2022.[9] He was also a member of the squad that took part in 2023 UEFA European Championship, co-hosted by Georgia.[10]
