Footballnews.ge

What is Footballnews.ge?

Footballnews.ge is a Georgian-language football news site.^[1]

Its footer is where the ownership evidence is. The footer carries a copyright line running from 2014 to 2026, links to a Facebook page under the name Studio GB, and links onward to a set of other sites — inews.ge, primenews.ge, isport.ge, score.ge and blitz.ge — with the contact route given through score.ge. The site is therefore presented by its own publisher as one title in a group of titles; no registered company name and no ownership declaration beyond those links was retrieved.^[1] One of the sites named in that footer, isport.ge, appears separately in the TOP.GE sport category alongside footballnews.ge itself, so the group's titles compete in the same listing.^[2]

No regulator's entry for the site was retrieved. The Georgian National Communications Commission's published material covers broadcasters, their conduct and their financial reporting rather than online publishers.^[5] Ownership of online publishers in Georgia is therefore documented, where it is documented at all, by what the publisher itself prints.

What does Footballnews.ge cover?

The site covers football only. Its own navigation runs Georgian clubs and the national team alongside the English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga and Ligue 1, the UEFA Champions League and Europa League, the World Cup and the European Championship, and a standing transfers section.^[1]

That places it against the general sports sites on this list, which run judo, wrestling, rugby, basketball and motorsport alongside football.^[2]

The domestic side of that coverage is the smaller part of the navigation: the site's standing sections are built around the five largest European leagues and the UEFA club competitions, with Georgian clubs and the national team as one heading among them.^[1] That pattern matches what the European Journalism Centre's Media Landscapes report describes as a market where online consumption is rising while print readership declines and regional outlets struggle financially.^[3]

How large is Footballnews.ge's audience?

No audited measurement of this site's audience could be retrieved, and the figure that exists is a traffic counter's single day's reading.

TOP.GE listed footballnews.ge second in its sport category when that page was read on 23 September 2026, with 17,032 hits and 9,823 unique visitors. The page states that its statistics are generated from the previous day, so both numbers cover one day and are not a period average. On the same listing sportall.ge was first with 20,896 hits and 10,105 unique visitors, a betting operator's sport pages third with 11,821 hits, belive.ge fourth with 9,236, goal.ge fifth with 7,658, isport.ge sixth with 6,514 and lelo.ge seventh with 7,208; the ordering on that page is not by either of the two columns it prints.^[2]

The European Journalism Centre's Media Landscapes report names TV MR Ge as the source cited for Georgian television shares, and gives the television advertising market at 73.98m Georgian lari in 2017; no equivalent audited currency for Georgian online publishing, and no online advertising figure, was retrieved for this page.^[3] The site itself publishes no audience figure on the pages read for this page.^[1]

Since when has Footballnews.ge existed?

The only date the site gives for itself is the copyright range in its footer, which runs from 2014 to 2026. A copyright range is the publisher's own statement and is not a founding record; no independent confirmation of a launch year was retrieved.^[1]

The related sites named in the same footer — inews.ge, primenews.ge, isport.ge, score.ge and blitz.ge — carry no dating of the group on the page read.^[1] No regulator's register supplies the date either: the Georgian National Communications Commission publishes on broadcasters and their financial reporting, not on online publishers.^[5]

Why does Footballnews.ge matter in Georgia's sport?

Its place on this list rests on its position in the TOP.GE sport category on the day that page was read, with the figures given above, and on its being a single-sport title in a market whose general sports sites cover everything.^[2][1]

Published monitoring of the market is reported here in the monitor's own words. Reporters Without Borders placed Georgia 135th of 180 countries in its 2026 World Press Freedom Index, with a score of 40.77 and indicator scores of 28.02 political, 34.46 economic, 46.92 legal, 49.60 social and 44.85 security, and writes under its media-landscape heading that “the media landscape is diverse and, at the same time, highly politically polarised”.^[4] Nothing in that profile is addressed to this site.
