Club
Mamatsashvili was five years old when he entered a football school. Initially, he played for Norchi Dinamo and Locomotive before joining Saburtalo's academy in 2011. He advanced first to the reserve team in Liga 3 and after 2021 to the main team. Mamatsashvili made his debut in the Erovnuli Liga as a substitute in a 2–0 win over Samtredia on 29 September 2021.[1] The Lelo sport newspaper noticed the new player with his attacking display, ball control and crosses and in a special article predicted that he was a promising player.[2]
In his first full season at Saburtalo in the same year, Mamatsashvili won the Georgian Cup.[3]
On 8 October 2022, Mamatsashvili scored his first official goal to give Saburtalo the lead in a 2–1 win against Gagra.[4]
The next year, it was Gagra where he continued his career on a six-month loan deal. After contributing with four goals in 15 league matches, Mamatsashvili returned to Saburtalo in early 2024.[5]
In August 2024, the player signed a contract with Allsvenskan club Sirius expiring on 30 June 2029.[6] On his tenth game for the club, Mamatsashvili netted his first Swedish goal, scoring directly from a corner kick in a 1–1 away draw against Malmö FF.[7]
International
In September 2017, Mamatsashvili was called up to the national under-16 team for friendly ties against Azerbaijan.[8] He also featured with U17s in the annual Development Cup held in Minsk. In October 2019, he became a member of the U18 team who played two friendlies against Estonia.[9]
As the U21 team was gearing up for its 2025 European Championship qualifying campaign, coach Ramaz Svanadze named Mamatsashvili in his 23-men squad.[10] He took part in 10 qualifiers, scoring a winner against North Macedonia.[11]
In a return leg against Croatia in 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification play-offs on 19 November 2024, Mamatsashvili was in the starting line-up. His team prevailed over their opponents in penalty shootout, which sent Georgia to the final stages of the competition.[12]
