UEFA, Switzerland
Nov 28 2006
The Football Federation of Armenia has held its fifth presidential
election, with the incumbent Ruben Hayrapetyan winning a second
four-year term in office.
Armenia's football future
The 43-year-old Hayrapetyan, the only candidate in the federation's
first uncontested election, said: "I am happy I could win your trust -
the fact we had only one candidate shows that nobody else wanted to
take on the task of plotting a future for football in Armenia. I will
do my best to continue our development."
Youthful promise
When Hayrapetyan took the post in 2002, there were only 2,000
associated young players in the country. Under his tutelage, the
Armenia Under-17 team has participated in the qualifying round for the
UEFA European U17 Championship, while the national U19s qualified for
the final tournament of their European Championship in Northern Ireland
in 2005. "These youngsters will eventually break into the senior team
and we will do our best to keep them progressing," Hayrapetyan said.
