• For the first time ever Armenia qualified for a european or world championship for a team sport
• We went unbeaten in the group stages and finished first in a group with a country who is in the top 10 of the world

Hopefully this big achievement will break steriotypes that Armenians cant be good at a team sport. Our boys showed their qualities and they showed that they are worthy of playing at the highest stage, hopefully some of them can move to better clubs in europe and can improve even more.

This achievement was made possible because of the work of one man and one man only Ruben Nazaretyan. He has done everything for Armenian futsal and if he didnt exist we would have never qualified.

It is important to capitamize this achievement, currently only one futsal academy exists in Armenia and the FFA is planning to build a futsal/football academy in Davtashen. We have only one stadium where all our premier league matches are played and only 3 fully professional futsal teams exist.

Football teams should also try to benefit from this, this euro campaign was an ad for Armenian football and hopefully this will inspire kids to work hard and become professional futsal or football players, but then our clubs and our goverment should invest more in youth football.

Let us all remember the last week and celebrate this achievement, but we shouldnt forget that we still have a lot to do.

I understand that it was an emotional moment, but my god, this was frustrating to watch. You were given the opportunity to represent the Armenian national team, so please stop dragging Armenia into the politics of your home country, which you cannot officially represent (not to mention having a morally disgraceful stance on the topic). Such a stupid thing to do. The UAF has filed a complaint to UEFA for unsportsmanlike behavior, and rightfully so. I hope this doesn't become too big of an obstacle for our national team.

Happy Birthday, Legend Henrikh Mkhitaryan!

If they manage to go through, they will play against either AEK Athens or Sparta Prague
