Azerbaijan, Baku/ Trend , corr. Z. Safarov/ The place where the
qualification football matches within the Europe Cup Qualifications
2008 is expected to be determined by UEFA (United European Football
Asociation) in June, 2007, Trend reports.
It was preliminarily proposed that this issue would be tackled during
the meeting of the Executive Committee of UEFA held in Cardiff.
However, EUFA made up a decision to view the situation with the
two matches to be held between Azerbaijani and Armenian Football
Teams later. The European Football Association once more decided
to thoroughly analyze the situation by taking into consideration
tensions and the state of war between the two countries and finally
take a concrete decision, but later. Therefore, the meeting of the
Executive Committee of UEFA to be held in June, 2007 is expected to
become a deciding moment that put an end to this issue.
Notably, AFFA (Association of Football Federation of Azerbaijan)
backs holding the two football matches on neutral football fields,
while the Armenian party still insists on holding the both matches
in Baku and Yerevan.
