Match Facts
Ararat-Armenia and Sparta Prague met previously in the 2025-26 Conference League qualifying phase, with the Czechia side winning 4-1 at home and 2-1 away to progress 6-2 on aggregate.
The only two major European meetings between clubs from Armenia and Czechia have been in the Conference League in the previous two seasons. Noah beat Mladá Boleslav 2-0 in 2024-25, while Sigma Olomouc beat Noah 2-1 in 2025-26.
Ararat-Armenia are competing in their first ever major European campaign, having qualified via the UEFA Europa League qualifying play-off against Universitatea Craiova. They are the first Armenian team to play in the UEFA Cup/Europa League since FC Ararat in 1972-73, who reached the last 16 before losing a penalty shootout to Kaiserslautern after a 2-2 aggregate draw.
Sparta Prague have won their first match in each of their last three major European campaigns, beating Aris Limassol 3-2 in 2023-24 (Europa League), Salzburg 3-0 in 2024-25 (Champions League) and Shamrock Rovers 4-1 in 2025-26 (Conference League).
This will be Brian Priske’s third campaign in the UEFA Europa League, going out in the group stage with Royal Antwerp in 2021-22 and leading Sparta Prague to the last 16 in 2023-24. He’s won only one of his eight away games (D2 L5), a 3-1 win with Sparta in December 2023 at Aris Limassol.
