Armenia national lacrosse team to compete in international tournament in Orlando

The Armenia national lacrosse team will take part in the International Sixes tournament, which will be held on January 10–11 in Orlando, Florida, USA.

During the group stage, the Armenian team will face the national teams of France, Colombia, and Cuba. Teams from Poland, Vietnam, and Luxembourg will also participate in the tournament.

The competition will be held in the Sixes format — a fast-paced version of lacrosse that will be featured at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

The Armenian squad is composed of players from the Armenian diaspora competing in the United States and Canada. The team includes athletes from various North American cities, including Glendale and San Diego (California), Dallas (Texas), New York, and Toronto (Canada). The team is coached by Tyler Hall and Johnny Mouradian.

At present, the question of participation of an Armenia national team made up exclusively of Armenian-Americans in Olympic qualification remains open. Nevertheless, active work in this direction is ongoing.

It is worth noting that last year the Armenia national team performed successfully at an international tournament in Portugal, finishing in third place. More details are available via the link.

The tournament in Orlando will mark another important milestone in the development of Armenian lacrosse on the international stage.
