Three years since their last victory: Armenia’s youth football team loses again

In the European Under-21 Championship qualifying round, Group E, Armenia’s national team suffered a narrow defeat to their Albanian counterparts.

The only goal of the match was scored in the 57th minute—an own goal by Aventis Aventisyan, a defender for “West Armenia.”

The recent results of Armenia’s U21 national team, like those of the senior team, are concerning. The team’s last victory was recorded on September 2, 2021. In that match, the U21 team won 2-0 at home against the Faroe Islands.

Over the past five years, Armenia’s U21 team has played 29 matches, winning only 2, while recording 24 losses and 3 draws. During these games, the U21 team has scored 10 goals and conceded 76.

In the last qualifying tournament, the U21 national team finished last with 2 points.
