YEREVAN. - Armenian National Football Team's failure of the year was
not qualifying for Euro 2012, and its achievement was its beautiful
game, which pleased the fans, stated Ruben Hayrapetyan, President of
the Football Federation of Armenia (FFA), during Saturday's press
conference, where he summed up the year.
He said the national squad had a real chance to qualify for Euro 2012,
but it did not make the most of that chance, and this is the failure
of the year. Yet the achievement is the national team's beautiful
football, which pleased the fans.
FFA President informed that the squad will start preparing for the new
season in February.
Ruben Hayrapetyan also noted that Armenia's national football team
will never play a friendly match in Turkey, since there are numerous
friendly countries where the games can be played, and that the squad
will solely play official matches in Turkey.
FFA President also said Armenia's national team has a good potential,
and it must aspire for first place in the World Cup qualifiers and,
subsequently, for World Cup participation.
