YEREVAN — Armenia’s national futsal team hosted Kazakhstan today and secured a 4-2 victory, finishing first in its group. For the first time in history, Armenia has qualified for the UEFA Futsal European Championship.

Armenia’s futsal team is the first national team in any team sport in the country’s history to achieve such a milestone.
