After a 0-0 draw in the second leg of their second round qualifying game against FK Jablonec, Pyunik emerged as surprise 2-1 aggregate winners.
Having never before faced a team from England in a European competition, Pyunik will now host Wolves in the first leg of the third qualifying round.
FC Pyunik are based in the Armenian capital, Yerevan. The stadium has a capacity of just 780.
The national stadium - Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium - which is also in Yeravan, has a capacity of 14,403
Zvartnots International Airport is located 15km west of Yeravan.
Wolves came through the second qualifying round having beaten Crusaders 6-1 on aggregate and will make the long journey to Armenia just 3 days before the opening Premier League game away to Leicester City.
Striker Raul Jimenez took a knock on Thursday in the game against Crusaders but the injury is thought to be minor and should not affect his selection.
Matt Doherty is still recovering from a knee injury and is not expected to travel to Armenia.
New arrivals Jesus Vallejo and Patrick Cutrone may well make their debuts and we may also see further new arrivals before the team leaves for Armenia.
Unless Fosun are prepared to subsidise the cost of travel, it is unlikely that many Wolves supporters will make the 6,000-mile round trip for a midweek game when a return flight from Gatwick costs around £1,500.

Gem, would you not need to go through offshore survival training. There is a point in life when no amount of money justifies getting plunged into a freezing cold swimming pool in a mock helicopter, turned upside down and trying to escape through a restricted space.

I know, I know but, and this will show you what an oddball I am, The HUET training was the only bit of the survival course that I enjoyed. In my defence, I am a diver and love being under water.

I’d have told em to feck off Gemlad !
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's what I should have done Halfy but 6 grand for 14 days offshore is hard to refuse!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nobody could buy Halfy !
----------------------------------------------------------------------
6K you say?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The funny bit is I retired 4 years ago but I could realistically still be earning that sort of money now. Instead I do odd jobs and deliveries in my van for 12.50 euros per hour
How are the mighty fallen eh?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A lot more to life than making money Gem, I bet you are considerably happier now.

Yes but he could be living in Bewdley and popping up the road to the Mol every match.
True happiness.
