Club career

Randers FC

Babayan born in Berlin, Germany, but later lived in Denmark.[2]

Babayan has played for Randers FC since he started playing football.

On 11 November 2013, Babayan got his debut for Randers FC at the age of 18.[3] Babayan started on the bench, but replaced Alexander Fischer in the 83nd minute in a 1–4 defeat against AaB.

In February 2014, Babayan signed his first professional- and full-time contract ever, with Randers FC.[4]

Babayan scored his first goal for Randers on 9 July 2015, when he came on the pitch in the 59nd minute replacing Joel Allansson, against Andorran club Sant Julià in the Europa League qualifications.[5] Babayan scored in the 73nd minute on a freekick.[6]

Loan to Hobro IK

On 27 January 2017 it was confirmed, that Babayan would play the rest of the season on a loan at Hobro IK.[7]

Babayan got an injury against Skive IK on 27 February 2017 in a friendly match, before the league began again. The first rumors were, that he had suffered a ligament injury, but later announced, that it only was a bad hamstring in the knee, that would keep him out for about a month.[8]

Babayan went back from the injury in the start of April 2017. He got his debut for Hobro in a 0–0 draw against HB Køge when he in the 69th minute replaces Lucas Jensen.[9] In the next match against Nykøbing FC, Babayan scored 2 goals in their 3–1 win.[10] Babayan won the Danish 1st Division with Hobro, and the club was promoted to the Danish Superliga again. He was a very important profile in their hunt for promotion.

Hobro IK

After a successful 6-months loan stay, Babayan signed a permanent contract with the newly promoted Danish Superliga club.[11] Babayan quickly became a key player for the team and made his breakthrough during the 2016–17 season. He was rewarded with a new contract in March 2018 until the summer 2021.[12]

On 1 February 2021, Babayan's contract with Hobro was terminated by mutual consent after he bought himself free, with Edgar expressing an interest to play on a higher level.[13]

International career

Babayan was born in Germany to Armenian parents who emigrated to Denmark when he was three. He received his Danish passport in 2016, and one month later got a callup and debut for the Denmark U20 squad in a 2–0 loss to the Italy U20s.[14][15] Babayan made his debut in a friendly game against Malta on 30 May 2018, where he came in off the bench and played the last 30 minutes.[16]

He scored his first senior international goal on 18 November 2019, in a 9–1 away defeat to Italy, in Armenia's final Euro 2020 qualifier.[17]
