The Armenia U21 national football team has announced its squad for the upcoming UEFA EURO 2027 qualification matches against Montenegro and Sweden. The matches will take place on November 14 and 18 in Armavir (Armenia).

Head coach Armen Gyulbudaghyants has finalized the list of players who will prepare for these important games. The team has already started its training camp.

Notably, three players have received their first call-up to the U21 team: midfielder Vadim Harutyunyan from Belarusian Arsenal Dzerzhinsk, Van midfielder David Kirakosyan, who previously played for Sochi, and Sunderland U21 forward Finn Geragousian. All three had previously played for Armenia U19 but will debut for the U21 squad.
