How to watch on the Big Screen
Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:
- Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
- Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
Team news & squads
Cyprus vs Armenia Probable lineups

Form
Cyprus have recorded one win, two draws, and two losses across their last five matches. Their most recent outing ended in a 0-0 draw with Latvia in the UEFA Nations League C, following a 2-1 defeat to Montenegro before that. Earlier in the run, they beat Liechtenstein 2-0 away and drew 1-1 with Slovenia in friendlies. Cyprus scored six goals and conceded five across those five matches.
Armenia have won once, drawn twice, and lost twice in their last five games. Their most recent result was a 2-3 defeat to Montenegro in the UEFA Nations League C, though they beat Latvia 2-0 in the fixture before that. Back-to-back 1-1 draws against Moldova and Kazakhstan in June friendlies sit in that run, alongside a 1-2 loss to Belarus. Armenia scored six goals and conceded seven across those five outings.
Head-to-Head Record
Head to Head
The most recent meeting between these two sides ended 2-2, a friendly played in Armenia in March 2023. The four recorded meetings between the sides have all been friendlies, with Armenia winning twice — 3-2 in November 2017 and drawing 2-2 in 2023 — while Cyprus won 3-1 in September 2007 and 2-0 in March 2006. The series is closely contested, and this Nations League fixture will be their first competitive encounter on record.
Standings
Cyprus sit third in UEFA Nations League C Group 2, with Armenia in second. Armenia arrive in Nicosia above their hosts in the table, meaning a Cyprus win would close the gap between the sides while an Armenia victory would tighten their grip on a promotion place.
