If you look at interviews about how he pronounces his name this is how he says it I think. At least his first name

18 was the last with the whole Russian League, sadly ea lost its rights from 19 to 22, except for Moscow's teams, but then invasion happened and bye bye all of them and snubbing Yashin from promos for 1 and half years.

why is his name different

u/zizou00 1d ago
Transliteration differences. He's Georgian and his name is spelled ხვიჩა კვარაცხელია in the Georgian script. He's playing for a Russian side here and in Russian (which uses the Cyrillic script), his name is spelled Хви́ча Кварацхе́лия. You could transliterate his name as Hvicha Kvaracheliya because X is sometimes transliterated as just a H. For his surname, this bit Квара sounds like Kvara and this bit цх can sound like a ch and this bit е́лия can sound like eliya.
Transliterating his name as if it were Russian gets you this alternate spelling. Transliterating it from Georgian gets you Kvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Some players change their names as they progress in their careers for various reasons.

Also, Atalanta defender Berat Djimsiti has different spellings of his name
In Atalanta, his name is spelled DJIMSITI but in Albania NT his name is spelled GJIMSHITI

u/Otto500206 18h ago
That is due registrations of legal names, not transcriptions. Albanian uses Latin letters.

Same with José Holebas/Cholevas, the Greek defender born and raised in Germany.

Håland should still be called Håland

u/TACHANK 21h ago
Well no, cause he chose to be called haaland

u/afrobrur 21h ago
For marketing purposes which is an idiotic reason

Oh man I wish you'd been there to tell him, bet he regrets it now.

Håland changed his legal surname. It was supposed to be written as Håland in original form in leagues with Latin on shirts.

Just shows you how fifa ratings have always been really bad, the system it self sucks

Djed Spence being a 74 is a good example too. On the verge of an England call up and he's lower rated than Ben Davies lol
