After the February 7 qualifying draw of the UEFA Euro 2012 football
championship that took place in Warsaw, the Armenian delegation held
negotiations over organizing a friendly match on March 3. Vardan
Minasyan, the Armenian national team’s acting head coach, told
ArmSport.am that a friendly match will, indeed, take place.

"The match will take place in Cyprus on March 3. The negotiations with
our opponents are still underway. The three candidates are Latvia,
Iceland and Ukraine. In the coming days, it will be clear with whom
we will compete," said Minasyan.

The interim head coach also spoke about the Euro 2010 qualifying draw.

The discussions on this issue will be held in Moscow on February 22.

"We would like to begin the qualifying competition with matches on
our own turf. Even if we were to compete with Slovenia or Ireland,
then go to Andorra," said Minasyan.
