In the summer of 2024, Kochorashvili was selected to represent Georgia in Euro 2024, which was the nation's first international tournament as an independent country. In the nation's first match against Turkey, Kochorashvili assisted Georges Mikautadze in the 32nd minute with a cross into the box - Georgia's first goal in a international tournament.[9]
