Armenian football team will have trainings in Cyprus - Ruben Hayrapetyan.

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.

Armenian football federation in February will have trainings in Cyprus, he told the reporters. 

“Our team will have a training in Cyprus thus launching a new phase of trainings for World Cup 2014. Before the official launch of meetings, our team will have four more trainings. I cannot name any team, as negotiations are still being held,” said Ruben Hayrapetyan.
