Georgian footballer
Giorgi Makaridze (Georgian: გიორგი მაკარიძე, romanized: giorgi mak'aridze, pronounced [ɡioɾɡi makʼaɾidze]; born 31 March 1990) is a Georgian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Erovnuli Liga club Iberia 1999.
He previously played for Dinamo Tbilisi, Le Mans, Doxa Katokopia, Feirense, Moreirense, F.C Rio Ave and Almería.
Makaridze is the two-time winner of the Erovnuli Liga with Iberia 1999. He was named Goalkeeper of the Year and included in Team of the Season.
Club career
Born in Tbilisi, Makaridze began his career in the Dinamo Tbilisi academy, afterwards moving to Le Mans UC72 on 10 January 2009 for €800,000 on a four-year contract worth €85,000.
In April 2014, he left Le Mans for Doxa Katokopia, but would never play a single game for the Cypriot club, leaving them for Feirense in Portugal, who were in Segunda Division Portugal at the time, playing 54 games. After getting promoted to the Primeira Liga, Makaridze joined Moreirense, playing 33 games and winning the 2017 Taça da Liga with them. In 2018, there was a rumor that Makaridze would join Benfica, but this move would never materialise, and instead he signed with Rio Ave. He would later agree to mutually terminate his contract with them, joining Vitoria FC in January of the same season.
On 12 September 2020, Makaridze moved away from the Portuguese league to sign a two-year contract with Segunda División side UD Almería.

Why this record matters
The phrase “georgian footballer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2498408. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1990, 1999, 2009 and 2014.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
