La Gazzetta dello Sport Georgia

What is La Gazzetta dello Sport Georgia?

La Gazzetta dello Sport Georgia is a Georgian-language sports site published at lagazzetta.ge.^[1]

It is the outlet on this list that states its own ownership and its own licensing most fully. Its about page states that the title “is published by Setanta Sports Media LLC with a local newsroom”, and that use of the La Gazzetta dello Sport trademark is permitted under a licence agreement with RCS Mediagroup SpA — in the Georgian wording, “La Gazzetta dello Sport (TM) სავაჭრო ნიშნის გამოყენება ნებადართულია RCS Mediagroup SpA-თან სალიცენზიო ხელშეკრულებით”. The same page states that the title is governed by Georgian editorial policy and an editor-in-chief.^[2] Those are the publisher's own statements, carried here attributed.

The licensor is an Italian publisher and the licensee is Georgian: the mark travels, the newsroom does not. The publisher named is the same one behind the Setanta Sports subscription service available in Georgia.^[2][3] A trademark licence is not an editorial relationship, and the about page states the editorial policy is Georgian rather than the licensor's; the two statements are the publisher's own.^[2]

What does La Gazzetta dello Sport Georgia cover?

The site's own sections cover football — domestic Georgian football, transfers and the main European leagues — alongside mixed martial arts and UFC, rugby, basketball, combat sports, motorsport, esports and Olympic sports.^[1][2]

Its Georgian football section is published under the heading ეროვნული ლიგა, the domestic top division.^[1] The breadth is that of a general sports title rather than of the Italian daily whose mark it licenses, and the about page states the editorial policy governing it is Georgian and that it has its own editor-in-chief.^[2]

One part of that coverage has a dated anchor outside the site. Broadband TV News reported on 16 February 2024 that the company the title names as its publisher had renewed Bundesliga rights covering Georgia among ten Eurasian markets through the 2028/29 season; the same competitions appear among the site's sections.^[3][1]

How large is La Gazzetta dello Sport Georgia's audience?

No audited measurement of the site's audience could be retrieved.

The Georgian traffic counter TOP.GE does not carry lagazzetta.ge among the twenty entries listed in its sport category when that page was read on 23 September 2026, and states in any case that its statistics are generated from the previous day, which makes any figure on it one day's reading rather than a period average.^[4] The twenty entries that listing does carry are headed by sportall.ge with 20,896 hits and 10,105 unique visitors and footballnews.ge with 17,032 hits and 9,823 unique visitors, both on that single day.^[4]

The recognised currency named in the European Journalism Centre's Media Landscapes report is TV MR Ge, for television; that report publishes no online-audience currency for Georgia, and none was retrieved for this page.^[5] The site itself publishes no audience figure on the pages read for this page.^[1]

Since when has La Gazzetta dello Sport Georgia existed?

No launch date could be established. The about page that states the title's publisher and its trademark licence gives no launch date, and the homepage carries none.^[2][1]

The publisher it names, Setanta Sports Media LLC, is dated only indirectly: Broadband TV News reported on 16 February 2024 that Setanta Sports had renewed Bundesliga rights covering Georgia through the 2028/29 season and quoted a Bundesliga International executive describing the partnership as “already well-established”, which dates the rights relationship rather than the title.^[3]

Nor does a regulator supply the date. The Georgian National Communications Commission publishes monitoring findings and financial reporting requirements for broadcasters rather than for online publishers, and the European Journalism Centre's Media Landscapes report on Georgian television, which is where the recognised audience currency is named, does not cover the founding of online titles.^[5]

Why does La Gazzetta dello Sport Georgia matter in Georgia's sport?

Its place on this list rests on what it documents about itself: a named publisher, a named licensor and a stated local newsroom, in a market where most sports sites name none of the three.^[2] It is also the publishing arm, by its own statement, of the same company behind a subscription sport service carrying rights in Georgia.^[2][3]

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, writes under its media-landscape heading that “the media landscape is diverse and, at the same time, highly politically polarised”, and records that editorial control often follows ownership interests.^[6] That observation is about the Georgian market and the profile does not name this title.
