Luka Latsabidze (Georgian: ლუკა ლაცაბიძე; born 18 March 2004) is a Georgian professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Ukrainian Premier League club Chornomorets Odesa, on loan from Shakhtar Donetsk.

Latsabidze is the winner of Georgian top league with Dinamo Tbilisi.

Career

Club

Latsabidze joined his hometown club Iveria at age 7. After two years he was signed by Dinamo Tbilisi where he spent the rest of his youth career. Having played for Dinamo's reserve team in the 2nd and 3rd divisions, Latsabidze made a debut with the senior team in a Georgian Cup match against Samtredia on 7 August 2022. He was a member of the squad that won the national league in 2022.

At the end of this season, Latsabidze received a first broad recognition. Nominated by GFF as U19 Player of the Year at its annual awards ceremony, he won the relevant Aleksandre Chivadze golden award.

On 4 February 2024, Ukrainian Premier League champions Shakhtar Donetsk announced that they had signed Latsabidze on a deal until 31 December 2028. He did not appear in official matches, though, before joining Chornomorets in the summer window on a year-long loan.

International

Latsabidze made his debut with U19s in a 2023 UEFA Championship qualifier against Croatia on 29 March 2022. On 15 November 2024, he played a full match for the first time at U21 level against the same opponents in 2025 UEFA Championship play-offs.
