Noah to face Zimbru, Pyunik could meet Debrecen: Conference League draw results

The draw for the second qualifying round of the 2026/27 UEFA Conference League was held on June 17 in Nyon, Switzerland. As a result, the Armenian clubs representing the country in European competitions learned their possible opponents.

Noah will begin their Conference League campaign from the second qualifying round. The Armenian Cup winners will face Moldova’s Zimbru. Both clubs will start the competition from this stage.

Pyunik will face Hungary’s Debrecen in the second qualifying round if they defeat Malta’s Marsaxlokk in the first round.

Alashkert, if they get past Kazakhstan’s Yelimay, will meet Romania’s CFR Cluj in the second qualifying round. This would be a very difficult test for the Armenian club, as the team from Cluj has significant European experience.

Ararat-Armenia have also learned their possible opponent in the Conference League. If the Armenian champions lose to Latvia’s Riga in the first qualifying round of the Champions League, they will play against the loser of the tie between Vardar (North Macedonia) and KuPS (Finland) in the second qualifying round of the Conference League.

Earlier, Ararat-Armenia also learned their potential opponent in the second qualifying round of the Champions League. If the Armenian club defeat Riga, they will face the winner of the tie between Floriana (Malta) and Shamrock Rovers (Ireland).

The first legs of the Conference League second qualifying round will be played on July 23, with the return matches scheduled for July 30.
