Henrikh Mkhitaryan has carried Armenia's attack for the better part of two decades, scoring 32 goals in 95 caps while moving through Shakhtar Donetsk, Borussia Dortmund, Manchester United, Arsenal, Roma and Inter. He remains the team's all-time top scorer.

The federation was formed on 18 January 1992, and the national side played its first official match that October, a goalless draw away to Moldova. Armenia joined FIFA the same year and UEFA the year after. The red shirt draws on the national tricolour; the team is known to its own supporters simply as Havakakan — "the collective."

Sargis Hovsepyan set the appearance record that still stands, 131 caps between 1992 and 2012, a span that covers most of the country's football history since independence. Roman Berezovsky sits behind him with 94.

Armenia has never reached a World Cup or a European Championship, though it finished third in its qualifying group for Euro 2012. The fiercer rivalry on the pitch is with Georgia, played out as the Caucasus Derby; matches against Azerbaijan carry far heavier weight off it, tied to the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, and are rarely scheduled at all.

Home games are played in front of just over 14,000 at the Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium in Yerevan. The clearest sign of recent progress came in 2020–21, when Armenia won its Nations League C group and moved up to League B for the following campaign.
