Tera, 29, featured in the first half of Ararat's 1-0 victory over FC Gandzasar, a match that confirmed the former's status as the Premier League champions for the first time since the 2019-2020 season.

Noah, who finished second with 56 points, were Ararat's only challengers heading into the last two games of the season, but stumbled in their penultimate game to hand the latter only their third league crown.
Ararat, at the end, secured a league-high 18 wins, while losing the joint-least amount of games - three.
For Tera, who was hooked at halftime on Wednesday, the triumph ended his five-year wait for a league championship, the crown presenting his first since joining the club in 2021.
The former Laiser Hill Academy midfielder, who also led the club to an Armenian Cup title in 2024, played a total 23 league matches this season, but did not register any goal contribution.
A league win will now push his career towards playing in the prestigious UEFA Champions League, with Ararat securing a spot in the qualifiers, which will run from early July to late August.
Tera played at a similar stage in 2019 with former Georgian side FC Saburtalo Tbilisi (now Iberia 1999), but could not hack it through to the main competition, after losing in a two-legged quarterfinal to Croatia's Dinamo Zagreb.
