- Assignment in Armenia: Giorgos Kyzas
With a draw that secures its place in the promotion playoffs for League B of the Nations League, the Cyprus national team is leaving Armenia.
Our national team achieved the result it was looking for and managed to “lock in” second place in the group, one matchday before the end of the tournament.

The team returns today (11/13) at 2:30 p.m. (Cyprus time) to Larnaca. Before departure, the team will hold a training session in Armenia, while tomorrow (Nov. 14) they will complete their preparations for the match against Montenegro (Nov. 15 – 4:00 p.m.).
For this match, both Akis Mantzios and the players have issued a clear call to the fans to fill the stands at “Alphamega Stadium” and support their efforts.
As for the match against Armenia, the national team was fortunate to take the lead on essentially its first chance, but subsequently came under intense pressure from the home team. Nevertheless, they managed to hold onto the lead until halftime.
The second half began in the same… vein, with the Armenians looking to equalize, which they managed to do just before the hour mark.
At that point, the substitutions made by our national team coach and the way our national team players adjusted to the game brought more composure to our play, with the score remaining unchanged at 1-1 until the end.
