/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The European qualifying draw for the 2008 FIFA Futsal
World Cup was held on Tuesday 18 September in Nyon, Switzerland. As
result, Azerbaijan, Czech Republic, Finland and Armenia will compete in
Group 6. UEFA qualifying round matches will take place from February 23
to March 2 in Czech Republic. The group winners will go into a playoff.

In November 2006, Azerbaijan and Armenia were also qualified for the
same group. Despite Armenia’s readiness to host the Azeri team in
Yerevan, the Azerbaijani FFA insisted on a neutral ground, explaining
the decision by incapability to ensure security for Armenian players
in Baku. In June, the UEFA executive committee cancelled the games
between Azerbaijan and Armenia awarding the teams with 0 point each.
