The venue
The match is in Tbilisi. Sources disagree on the stadium: one summary lists the Mikheil Meskhi Stadium (Wikipedia), another the Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena (Eurosport). Georgia have played their home matches in this competition so far at the Dinamo Arena. Because the venue cannot be read on the official UEFA page, we do not state the exact stadium as certain.

A coaching change in Georgia
At the end of September, after the opening 0–1 home defeat to Northern Ireland, the Georgian federation parted ways with Willy Sagnol. The new head coach is Ramaz Svanadze, who previously led the under-21 team. His contract runs until 2028 (Georgia Today, 28 September 2026; Flashscore). Under Svanadze, Georgia have drawn 0–0 twice and lost 0–1 once. Hungary's head coach is Marco Rossi (PSG official site).
