Otar Kiteishvili arrived in the world on 26 March 1996, his birthplace being the charming country of Georgia. His chosen career path in football has seen him settle into the role of a central attacking midfielder. Currently, he plies his trade for a team known as Sturm Graz, adding splendour to the pitch in his number 10 jersey. Standing at the average height of 1.73m (5ft 8in) for a footballer, and maintaining a fairly standard weight of 70kg (11st), Kiteishvili has certainly left an impression on the physical requirements of his profession. Away from his club duties, he's also donned national colours, proudly representing the Georgia national team.
Putting a price tag on talent is a tricky business, but Transfermarkt values Kiteishvili's footballing skills quite handsomely, to the tune of approximately €6.00m (a mere £5m, give or take a half).
His track record at Sturm Graz is quite unmatched. Kiteishvili put his foot in the goal-scoring door during the 2018-2019 season with a modest four goals from 29 appearances. The seasons that followed showed a consistent improvement in his performance. He notched up six goals from 31 appearances during 2019-2020; an improvement to seven goals from 26 appearances during 2020-2021 was observed. He kicked off the 2021-2022 season with a single goal from 14 appearances, but soon recovered form, scoring six goals from 20 appearances in the 2022-2023 season. The purple patch hit a high note during 2023-2024, with Kiteishvili scoring nine goals from a sterling 25 appearances, part of which were instrumental in growing his standing. His golden era at Sturm Graz came during the 2024-2025 season, where he scored 12 goals from 32 appearances. Now, in the 2025-2026 season, he's already scored a quadruple from only four appearances.
Carefully woven into the narrative of Kiteishvili's career are his escapades on an international scale. He donned his national colours for Euro 2024, featuring in two matches for Georgia. He also took part in the Euro Qualifiers from 2022 to 2024, scoring a singular but precious goal in seven outings. Toward his club duties, he engaged in the Europa League during the 2023 - 2024 spell with four appearances and a substitute outing to his name. The Champions League was no exception — he featured for his club in the Qualifiers for 2025 - 2026, making two appearances. His national colours beckoned once more for the Nations League from 2024 to 2025, where he netted a goal over eight appearances. He was also part of the action in the Conference League for the 2023 - 2024 season, kicking in another goal over four appearances.
