Stadium
The stadium designated for this match is the Ramaz Shengelia stadium in the city of Kutaisi, Georgia. It was inaugurated in 1949 and 61 years later, i.e. in 2010, the stadium was completely restored and remodeled so that all spectators could be seated and thus have a larger capacity. It is the official home of the Torpedo Kutaisi club, the city's team, which plays in the Umaglesi Liga. Since its opening until 2015, the stadium was called Givi Kiladze, but it was renovated in honor of the great Ramaz Shengelia, one of the best Georgian players who, at the time, was selected by the Soviet Union. It is the third largest stadium in Georgia with 19,400 spectators.
