Club career

Dinamo Tbilisi

Ending his contract with Dinamo Tbilisi in June 2016,[1] Gvelesiani trained with Ukrainian team Volyn Lutsk soon after.[2] However, his stint there proved transitory as registration problems prevented them from legally letting him play,[3] resulting in him leaving the club in August.

Zob Ahan

Early into summer 2017, the Iranian media spread rumors that a transfer to Persian Gulf Pro League outfit Zob Ahan was imminent for Gvelesiani;[4] he eventually signed for them a few days later.[5] Given a red card for his reckless actions on his debut,[6] the Georgian defender settled well in to the club, forming a good relationship with his teammates and staff.[6]

Nassaji Mazandaran

On 28 July 2018, Gvelesiani joined Iranian club Nassaji Mazandaran on a one-year deal.[7]

Sepahan

On 12 June 2019, Gvelesiani joined Sepahan S.C. on a two-year deal.[8][9]

Persepolis

On 19 June 2022, Gvelesiani joined Persian Gulf Pro League side Persepolis on a new two-year deal.[10]

International career

He was called up to the Georgia national football team for the first time in the 2015–16 season.[11]
