Dila

Make The Case

Dila work as a second team because they come with their own geography: Georgia, Tengiz Burjanadze Stadium Gori, Georgia, and a set of rivalries you will absorb faster than you expect.

• Close to the pitch

  Tengiz Burjanadze Stadium Gori, Georgia holds about 5,000. You can hear the defenders shouting at each other, which is the single best argument for lower-capacity football.

• You get a nickname

  Known as Guardians. That is your new shorthand, your search term and your excuse for buying a scarf.

• Worth the journey

  Nearest airport is Tbilisi International Airport (TBS), roughly 79km out. This is not a casual away day, which is precisely why the people who do it take it seriously.

• The calendar you inherit

  Following Europe UEFA Europa Conference League means odd kick-off hours, a new commentary language and a table you will check before your own club's. Georgia becomes part of your week.
