Armenia First League

The Armenian First League (Armenian: Հայաստանի Առաջին լիգա, romanized: Hayastani Arrajin liga) is currently the second level football competition in Armenia after the Armenian Premier League. The competition exists mostly out of reserve teams of several Premier League clubs; however, other teams also participate. The reserve teams are not eligible for promotion to the highest level, resulting in situations where a club promotes even when they finish the season in a mid-table position.

The Armenia First League is the second tier of professional football in Armenia, serving as a competitive platform for emerging clubs and talented players aspiring to reach the top flight. Established to foster local talent and promote the development of football across the country, the league features a dynamic mix of historic clubs and ambitious newcomers. Throughout the season, teams compete in a structured format, aiming for promotion to the Armenian Premier League while avoiding relegation to lower divisions. The Armenia First League is known for its passionate fan base, intense matches, and its role in nurturing the future stars of Armenian football.
