Did you know this fascinating football family fact? While Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is a global star for Georgia currently playing for Paris Saint-German(PSG) , his father, Badri Kvaratskhelia, had a deep and successful connection to Azerbaijani football.
Badri, a prolific forward, was a true goal bombardier in the Azerbaijani Top League. His goal-scoring feats are legendary:
Kapaz Ganja (1997–1998): He moved to Kapaz, instantly making an impact. That season, the club claimed both the league title and the Azerbaijan Cup.
Shamkir (1998–2005): At Shamkir, he reached his peak. In the 1999–2000 season, he became the league’s too scorer, a crucial part of his team’s three consecutive league titles. He also scored a Champions Cup hat-trick against Skonto Riga in 2000.
In total, Badri scored over 70 goals in the Azerbaijani top flight, cementing his status as one of the country’s all-time great strikers. His performances were so impressive that he made three appearances for the Azerbaijan national team in 2000, including his debut in a draw against none other than Georgia.
