Armenian Journalists’ Team wins silver in Egypt Football Tournament for Media
Armenian Journalists’ National Football Team has won the silver medal in the VIII Egypt International Football Tournament for Media and Journalists in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt.
The Armenian team had 4 wins and 1 defeat, which secured it 12 points. Only due to additional criteria used for final point count, Armenia conceded the first place to Moldova. Kazakhstan finished third.
These are the scores of the games featuring the Armenian team:
Moldova – Armenia: 3-1
Armenia – Kazakhstan: 5-4
Belarus – Armenia: 2-4
Armenia – Ukraine: 2-1
Armenia – Egypt: 6-1.
The Armenian team was able to participate in the tournament thanks to support from TotoGaming bookmaker company. Armenia took the silver in the 2019 tournament as well, when Egypt was the winner.
“This tournament was special as all teams were strong and each game was decisive. We aimed for the win and we managed to beat the favorites, Kazakhstan and Ukraine, but we could not get a win in the game with Moldova despite opening the score. Fatigue played a role, because we arrived in Egypt mere hours before the tournament. In any way, I consider the silver medal a decent result, one that inspires for future victories,” said captain of the team, editor-in-chief at Mediamax Davit Alaverdyan.
