Lucas Zelarayan has just achieved a milestone moment in his soccer career. The Columbus Crew’s star playmaker received his first international call-up as he will join Armenia for the October FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The Armenia Federation confirmed on Tuesday morning that the Argentine-born Zelarayan was set to represent the nation internationally. Zelarayan is of Armenian descent and accepted the invitation to suit up for the country.
The 29 year old has been a superstar for the Crew since joining in 2020. He won an MLS Cup MVP, MLS Newcomer of the Year, MLS Player of the Week and was named an MLS All-Star in less than two full seasons in the league.
