Armenian national to meet with juniors in friendly match ahead of World Cup 2014 qualifier vs Czechs

YEREVAN, February 8. /ARKA/. The Armenian national team will meet with the junior national in a friendly match on March 21 ahead of a World Cup 2014 qualifier versus Czech footballers, the press office of the Armenian Football Federation reported on Friday.   

This decision was made after the friendly match between Armenian and Turkmen nationals scheduled for March 22 was canceled at the request received from Turkmen who asked the Armenian Football federation to postpone the match for August 14 or any other day because of changes in the schedule of the Asian Football Confederation’s Challenge Cup. 

The press office of the Armenian Football Federation says that on March 19 the Armenian national will start preparing for their contest with the Czech national, which will take place at the National Stadium in Yerevan.
