In a social media message, Mikheil Peikrishvili, the Head of the Strategic Communications Department of the Government Administration, announced that Topuria would visit the country at the invitation of the country’s Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze.
Topuria will present the championship belt at Dinamo Arena stadium in the country's capital city of Tbilisi before the kick-off of the match.
