/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In the words of Secretary General of the Football
Federation of Azerbaijan Fuad Asadov, the UEFA is going to form a
commission for studying the issue of holding elimination matches of
Euro-2008 between national teams of Armenia and Azerbaijan. UEFA
Vice-President Per Ravn Omdal, UEFA Deputy Secretary General Mark
Schtruder and UEFA Executive Committee representative Mathieu Sprengers
will be included in the commission. They will pay visits to Yerevan
and Baku in May, based on which the final decision on the venue will
be made. According to the UEFA regulations, national teams have to
play home matches in the territory of their country. However, the
UEFA may take into account the tense relations between Armenia and
Azerbaijan and the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and may allow the teams
to play in a neutral field as an exception.
