Fans engaged in the brawl
Armenia and Georgia’s Nations League play-off match on Sunday, March 23, 2025, descended into utter chaos at the final whistle.
Fans stormed the pitch in Georgia, leading to violent clashes, object-throwing, and a full-scale pitch invasion.
The match ended in a 6-1 victory for Georgia, but tensions, which had been high throughout the game, escalated further after the final whistle.
A video circulating online shows hundreds of supporters leaping over seats and barriers to reach the pitch, where they hurled objects toward other sections of the stadium.
According to Armenian journalist Robert Ananyan, Georgian fans were seen throwing objects at Armenian supporters.
Despite efforts by police and stadium stewards to control the chaos, the overwhelming number of unruly fans made it difficult to restore order.
Interestingly, earlier this week, the two nations announced a joint bid to co-host the 2029 U20 World Cup.
However, the exact cause of the violence remains unclear, and Georgian fans could potentially face a stadium ban.
