Tornike Shengelia is among the 13 players called up by Georgia head coach Ilias Zouros for the two 2022 EuroBasket Qualifiers versus Finland and Switzerland scheduled to take place on November 28 and 30, respectively. Both matches will be held in Espoo, Finland.
Shengelia will arrive in Finland on November 27, three days after the remaining players competing abroad gather directly in the bubble venue Tuesday. Prior to the international fixtures, the Georgia captain will suit up for CSKA Moscow in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season Round 11 home fixture opposite Real Madrid.
Giorgi Shermadini and naturalized Thad McFadden will be present as well for Georgia aiming to build on its 2-0 start in Group E. As one of the four co-hosts, the team coached by Zouros will advance regardless of its ranking in the final qualifying round.
