ARMENIA TO APPLY FOR BEING ONE OF EURO-2020 HOSTS
YEREVAN, March 29. /ARKA/. Armenia is planning to make an application
for hosting the 2020 European football championship and, hence,
to reconstruct Hrazdan stadium, president of Armenia's football
federation Ruben Hayrapetyan said, as quoted by Novosti-Armenia agency.
"The president assigned a task to us - to reconstruct the Hrazdan
stadium within the next 5 years so that it is one of the best stadiums
in Europe", Hayrapetyan told a press conference Friday.
UEFA executive committee made a decision on January 25 that 13 cities
across Europe will host EURO-2020 finals.
Hayrapetyan also said that from now on most critical and interesting
matches will be held at Hrazdan stadium to avoid ticket shortage
problems.
"When some 10,000 people come to the Republican stadium, the stadium is
full, whereas Hrazdan looks empty even with 30,000 fans", Hayrapetyan
said.
Hrazdan stadium of Yerevan holding about 55,000 seats is the biggest
one in Armenia. -0--
