Chicago Fire and Armenia National team striker Yura Movsisyan, remarked his international return with a goal, as he scored in Armenia’s 4-0 victory over Macedonia in the UEFA Nations League.
Yura Movsisyan was one of the most prolific strikers in the UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying campaign, scoring 4 goals and assisting on 5 others. However, in March of 2016, Movsisyan has been indefinitely ruled out from representing Armenia national team by country’s Football Federation president Ruben Hayrapetyan.
After 3 years, without international football Yura Movsisyan has been called up to the Armenia national team on May for the friendly games against Malta and Moldova, but forced to leave the camp due to a hamstring injury.
Ex-boss of Armenia National team Vardan Minasyan did not include Movsisyan to the squad for the UEFA Nations League games against Lichtenstein and FYR Macedonia, claiming that Yura Movsisyan is without the club, as he left Djurgardens IF and didn’t find another club.
On September Yura Movsisyan has joined Chicago Fire and received a call from the new coach of Armenia National team Armen Gyulbudaghyants, who has been appointed after Football Federation president Ruben Hayrapetyan has been replaced with Arthur Vanetsyan.
The first game after return Yura Movsisyan played against Gibraltar and the Armenia National team were crucially defeated with a 1-0 score.

After the game, Yura Movsisyan told reporters:” I can’t describe my feelings, I can’t find right words. Only me and my family know how difficult it was for me and what I’ve done to be back.
Despite injuries and surgeries, it was important to come over psychological problems. We know, no one can break me.”
