Kakha Kaladze published on his Facebook-page a post about yesterday’s Georgia-Northern Macedonia football match.

“Yesterday the country was very close to realizing 30-year-old football dream, playing in the European Championship.

Unfortunately, we didn’t win. We saw tears in the eyes of fans yesterday and this emotion deserves the greatest appreciation. Yesterday, one such courageous man was fined under legislative regulations.

Such support of football and the national team deserve to be appreciated, and in my opinion, fine should not be a burden on this person’s family. Therefore, I promise, this man will not have a problem and we will be able to solve this issue in full compliance with the law.

As for my presence at the stadium, I was invited by the UEFA delegation and the Football Federation along with other veteran players.

I apologize for an unintentional mistake to each of them who sincerely criticized me and expressed resentment”, - wrote the Mayor of Tbilisi, veteran football player.
