Edgar Martirosovich Sevikyan (Armenian: Էդգար Սևիկյան; Russian: Эдгар Мартиросович Севикян; born 8 August 2001) is a professional footballer who plays as a left winger for Hungarian club Ferencváros. Born in Russia, he plays for the Armenia national team.

Club career[edit]

Born in Moscow with Armenian descent, Sevikyan joined Levante UD's youth setup in 2017 from FC Lokomotiv Moscow, after travelling to the city of Valencia to visit his mother, sister and brother.[2][3] On 22 June 2019, while still a youth, he signed his first professional contract after agreeing to a three-year deal.[4]

Sevikyan made his senior debut with the reserves on 19 January 2020, coming on as a second-half substitute for Álex Blesa in a 0–1 Segunda División B away loss against CE Sabadell.[5] He was handed his first start seven days later, and scored his team's second in a 3–1 away defeat of Hércules.[6]

Sevikyan made his professional – and La Liga – debut on 5 December 2020, replacing goalscorer Jorge de Frutos late into a 3–0 home win against Getafe CF.[7]

On 6 July 2022, Sevikyan signed a three-year contract with Russian Premier League club Pari Nizhny Novgorod.[8] He made his RPL debut for Pari NN on 9 October 2022 against FC Torpedo Moscow.[9]

Ferencváros[edit]

On 17 January 2024, Sevikyan signed with Ferencváros in Hungary.[10][11][12]

International career[edit]

Sevikyan represented Russia from the under-15 to the under-20 levels. At the time it was unclear where Sevikyan would play in his senior national career. Having talks with both the Armenian and Russian federations he stated that he still needed time to decide.[13][14]

He made his debut for Russian under-21 team on 3 September 2021 in a Under-21 Euro qualifier against Spain that Russia lost 1–4.[15]

Sevikyan was first called up to the Russia national football team for a training camp in September 2023.[16] On 31 August 2023, Sevikyan issued a statement saying he decided to represent Armenia national football team instead.[17]

He made his debut for Armenia on 12 October 2023 in a Euro 2024 qualifier against Latvia.[18]
