Armenian Premier League ranked 60th in the world by IFFHS in 2025

The International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) has published its annual ranking of the world’s top 100 national leagues based on 2025 results. The Armenian Premier League placed 60th in the list with 285.5 points.

In the updated classification, the Armenian championship is positioned just behind Sweden’s league. At the same time, the Armenian league outperformed several countries with notable football traditions, including Iran (62nd), Belarus (63rd), Finland (66th), Australia (73rd), Kazakhstan (74th), Georgia (80th), and Slovakia (89th).

However, Armenia’s league position declined compared to last year: in the 2024 ranking, Armenia held a higher 46th place.

About the ranking

IFFHS annually publishes various rankings covering the best players, clubs, national teams, and leagues. However, the organization does not fully disclose its point calculation methodology, which often leads to its classifications being viewed as conditional and partly subjective.
