The Armenian national team and the Armenian football delegation left for Sarajevo on Thursday. As part of the Euro 2020 Group J qualifications match our team will meet Bosnia and Herzegovina on March 23, the country’s football federation reported.
Earlier Head coach Armen Gyulbdaghyants announced the names of 27 players invited to join the team. Anatoly Ayvazov and Arsen Beglaryan will miss the match due to injury.
To note, Group J consists of six teams: Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Finland, Greece, Italy and Liechtenstein, where they will play against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format.
The top two teams will qualify directly for the finals. Unlike previous editions, the participants of the play-offs will not be decided based on results from the qualifying group stage, but instead based on their performance in the 2018–19 UEFA Nations League.
