Portugal Secures Dramatic Win in Armenia During 2023 World Cup Qualifiers

Portugal has once again triumphed in Armenia, securing a memorable victory during the 2023 World Cup qualifiers. The qualifying match, played on Saturday, saw Portugal emerge victorious with a thrilling 3-2 scoreline.

The Portuguese National Team, currently on a high following their victory in the Nations League, demonstrated their resilience and determination on the challenging pitch of Armenia. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in the match, adding to the team's momentum.

The qualification for the 2023 World Cup for Portugal will also take place in Armenia. This isn't the first time Portugal has faced difficulties in the country; during their journey to Euro 2016, they overcame all obstacles to secure a victory in Armenia.

The team's humility is crucial in navigating the challenges posed by Armenia. Diogo Jota, a key player for the Portuguese National Team, tragically lost his life in a car accident in July 2025, along with his younger brother André Silva. The team remembers and honors Jota, with his jersey number 21 now worn by Ruben Neves.

As the team prepares for the upcoming qualifiers, they are met with a frenzy of fans in Armenia. The Portuguese National Team is currently in the country, ready to face the challenges ahead and continue their pursuit of the 2023 World Cup.

Despite the difficulties, the team remains focused and determined. The victory in Armenia during the qualifying match for Euro 2016 serves as a reminder of their potential and their ability to overcome adversity. The Portuguese National Team will undoubtedly give their all to secure a place in the 2023 World Cup.
