Portuguese coach Manuel Tulipa is the manager of Ararat Armenia, a team that played at home against NEC Nijmegen in the Europa League league phase. The match pitted the Armenian club coached by Tulipa against the Dutch side NEC Nijmegen.

Six Portuguese players were competing in this match, representing both sides on the field. The Portuguese presence in the game reflects the internationalization of Portuguese footballers across various European leagues.

The match is part of the Europa League league phase, a European club competition organized by UEFA. This league phase format allows teams from smaller leagues, such as the Armenian championship, to compete directly against clubs from more traditional leagues.
