Armenia reach EURO 2026 playoffs unbeaten

The Armenia national futsal team finished the group stage of the 2026 European Championship with a 3–3 draw against Lithuania, securing first place in Group B.

Armenia completed the group stage unbeaten and confidently advanced to the quarterfinals from first place. This is the team’s debut appearance at the European Championship, and reaching the playoffs right away is a historic achievement.
