Tsotne Patsatsia (Georgian: ცოტნე ფაცაცია; born 28 March 2000) is a Georgian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Erovnuli Liga club Torpedo Kutaisi.
Patsatsia has won the top Georgian league and received the Goal of the Year award.
Patsatsia started his professional career at Liga 2 club Merani Martvili where he spent five seasons. At age 17, he made a debut as a substitute in a 5–0 away win against Guria.[1]
On 27 November 2018, Patsatsia scored his first goal in a 2–0 home win over Merani Tbilisi.[2] Around the same time, he took part in two matches for Georgia U19s in 2019 European Championship qualifiers.[3]
After the 2018 season, Patsatsia was loaned to Gagra. In early 2020, the player rejoined Merani[4] who made an unsuccessful attempt to advance to the Erovnuli Liga via playoffs a year later.
In January 2023, Merani announced that their head coach and twelve players, including Patsatsia, would leave the club following a financial crisis.[5] The player moved to Shukura Kobuleti and in his very first top-league game netted from the penalty spot against Dinamo Batumi.[6] He bagged an equalizer in the second match as well against the same opponents,[7] although in both cases Shukura failed to claim a point. Overall, he scored seven times for the bottom-placed team.
Patsatsia's performance on the pitch drew attention from Dinamo Batumi who signed him during the summer transfer window.[8]
The last of the three goals that Patsatsia scored for his new club was a 57m wonder strike from his own half,[9] which sealed not only a 3–0 victory over Telavi, but also champion's fate in favour of Dinamo Batumi. At the end of this season, Patsatsia was announced the winner of the Goal of the Year award.[10]
Patsatsia spent half of the 2024 season at the club before joining Torpedo Kutaisi on a 3+1 year-long deal.[11]
