OUTCOME OF DIFFICULT TALKS WITH UEFA
Country - Friday, 20 December 2013, 23:11
In 2016 the State Oil Company of Azerbaijani (SOCAR) will sponsor the
UEFA Euro 2016. The agreement with UEFA has been signed already, which
means that SOCAR will be advertised in all the stadiums, including
the qualifiers of our national team held in Armenia. However, the
president of the Football Federation of Armenia has announced on
Armenia TV today that there will be no ads of the Azerbaijani company
during the games of our national team. Ruben Hairapetyan said the
decision was achieved in the result of difficult negotiations with
UEFA. As to ads on TV, Ruben Hairapetyan said he is responsible for
the stadium, and TV channels should decide whether they will run the
ads of the Azerbaijani company. Note that on the eve of the start of
the Armenian-Turkish football diplomacy when the president of Turkey
Gul arrived in Armenia, the image of Mount Ararat was removed from the
logo of the Football Federation printed on the shirts of the national
team. The president of the FFA also dwelled on the application of
Yerevan to be one of the cities of Euro 2020. He said chances are not
big, and the problem is the lack of a stadium that is in line with
the European standards. Armenia cannot afford to build one that will
require an investment of over 100 million dollars.
