Club career

Maisuradze joined Dinamo Tbilisi at the age of 10 and went through all age groups, becoming a champion of the national U15, U17 and U19 leagues. He made his debut for the senior team in a 2–1 win over Saburtalo on 8 August 2021.[1] Maisuradze made 12 appearances for Dinamo the next year when they won the league, shortly followed by a Supercup title.[2]

Maisuradze was called up to the national U21s for a friendly tie against Estonia in March 2022.[4]

After the team started its 2025 UEFA European Championship qualifying round in September 2023, Maisuradze established himself as a regular player. He contributed to Georgia's successful campaign with nine appearances, including in two-legged play-offs against Croatia, which paved the way for the final stage of the championship.[5]
