Edgar Sevikyan to Miss Armenia vs Latvia to Play for Ceuta — FFA Grants Permission

Armenia national team midfielder Edgar Sevikyan has been included in Spanish club Ceuta's squad for their Segunda División Matchday 14 clash against Tenerife, where fellow Armenian footballer Grant-Leon Ranos plays.

The match will take place on November 15 in the Canary Islands, on the same day that Armenia face Latvia in Riga in their final UEFA Nations League group-stage fixture.

Interestingly, both players had been called up to the Armenia national team. Ranos traveled to Riga and was included in the national team's final matchday squad, while Sevikyan received permission to return to his club.

Why Will Sevikyan Miss Armenia's Match Against Latvia?

On November 14, Ceuta officially announced that the club had contacted the Football Federation of Armenia (FFA) to request permission for Sevikyan to participate in the match against Tenerife.

The FFA approved the Spanish club's request, allowing the midfielder to miss Armenia's final Nations League fixture. Ceuta publicly thanked the Armenian federation for its cooperation and understanding.

As a result, while Grant-Leon Ranos remains with the Armenia national team, Sevikyan has traveled to the Canary Islands and has been included in Ceuta's squad. According to the published lineups, the Armenian midfielder will start the match.

Sevikyan previously featured in Armenia's 1-1 draw against Cyprus on November 12, coming on as a substitute in the 72nd minute.

The Tenerife vs Ceuta match will kick off at 17:00 Yerevan time, while Latvia vs Armenia will begin one hour later, at 18:00.
