Armenian side FC Noah will host Swiss side FC Sion at Abovyan City Stadium in the first leg of the UEFA Conference League third qualifying round 6 August 2026 at 17:00 BST.

However, FC Sion represent a stronger league and have a quality group of players. A tight match is expected, in which every mistake could have a serious impact on the outcome of the two-legged tie.
