I Trust in Our Victory, but I Am Cautious About Armenia: Hadlgriimson

In the 4th round of Group F of the European qualification phase for the 2026 World Cup, the Armenian national team will face the Irish team at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. This information comes from the armsport.am website. The head coach of the opponent, Heimir Hadlgriimson, noted that he expects a 100 percent performance from his players.

“I have always been honest with you. I believe in this team. I think this team has everything it needs to qualify for the World Cup. We may not be the favorites of the group at this moment, but tomorrow’s victory could change that perception. And I am confident that we will do it.

If you watched Armenia’s last match against Hungary, then you know they are a strong team. Hungary was just lucky to win even with a score of 2:0. Armenia had very good opportunities and could have punished the opponent. They are a really good team, and no one should underestimate them here.

We need to start correctly against them—hard, united, like in the game against Portugal. We understand that there will be a lot of pressure on us tomorrow. We have to accept that as part of the game. Yes, there will be pressure due to the obligation to win, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be from the very first minute. We need to play smart against this team because if we don’t, they can punish us, just like they did in Yerevan,” Hadlgriimson’s words are quoted by RTE.
