AFFA president returns Baku from Cardiff.
AFFA president Ramiz Mirzoyev's visit to Cardiff, Wales, is finished.
He left for Cardiff after the meeting with UEFA president Michel
Platini, Armenian Football Federation president Ruben Ayrapetian in
Nyon, Switzerland. The parties failed to reach agreement on the venue
of Azerbaijan-Armenia matches.
Mirzoyev participated in the meeting of UEFA Department for National
Squads in Wales and arrived in Baku yesterday in the evening. AFFA
leader didn't discuss Azerbaijan-Armenia match venue with anyone
in Cardiff. He didn't wait for results of UEFA Executive Committee
meeting today in Welsh capital. AFFA officials had stated before that
match venues will be projected today. It is not ruled out that UEFA
intends to keep the decision on the issue in secret for a while. By
the UEFA rules, such disputable issue is to be announced by 60 days
before the encounter.
AFFA president Ramiz Mirzoyev told APA-Sport that the final decision
will be made in early June.
"No discussions were carried out on the venue of Azerbaijan - Armenia
encounters in Cardiff. I just participated in the meeting of UEFA
Department for National Squads. UEFA Executive Committee will pass
final decision on the venue in early June. Zurich will host UEFA
congress in late May. The place and date of UEFA Executive Committee
meeting will be fixed at the congres," he said.
Azerbaijan-Armenia matches have been scheduled for September 8 in
Baku and four days later in Yerevan.
