Armenian soccer’s governing body has announced a friendly game between the national teams of Armenia and Iran that is due to be held in Yerevan next month.
The Football Federation of Armenia (FFA) said on Wednesday the game will take place at Hrazdan Stadium in the capital on August 11 (kickoff at 9:00pm local time).
Earlier, media reports discussed the possibility of holding a friendly game with Israel in Yerevan at around the same time. Such reports have not been confirmed by the FFA, however.
The August 11 match will prove the last test for Armenia ahead of Euro-2012 qualification commencing in autumn.
So far this year Armenia led by new coach Vardan Minasyan has played two friendly matches – losing to Belarus 1-3 and beating Uzbekistan 3-1.
Armenia, featured in qualifying Group B along with Russia, Slovakia, the Republic of Ireland, Macedonia and Andorra, is scheduled to start the tournament with a home game against the Irish team on September 3.
