  • ANKARA: Turkish Juniors To Host Armenia

    TURKISH JUNIORS TO HOST ARMENIA

    Turkish Daily News
    Sept 9 2008

    Three days after the Turkish national football team traveled to
    Yerevan, Armenia for a World Cup qualifying game, it is now the turn
    of young Armenians to visit Turkey.

    Tonight the Turkish U-21 squad will host the Armenian U-21 team at
    Istanbul's Ali Sami Yen Stadium, in its last match of the 2009 U-21
    European Championships qualifying campaign.

    Turkey currently leads its group with 16 points, two points ahead of
    second placed Czech Republic, and at least a draw against Armenia will
    win Turkey a berth in the playoff games to be played on Nov. 11-15.

    U-21 team coach Hami Mandıralı, a former Trabzonspor striker, spoke
    hopefully about the Armenia game, buoyed by a 2-1 victory over the
    Czech Republic on Saturday night in Bursa.

    "I hope that we will continue our good from against Armenia," he told
    a post-game press conference. "We lost the first game in Armenia,
    and this creates pressure on us, but I think we compensated that loss
    tonight and matched our goal."

    The tickets for the game, scheduled to start 8 p.m., are available
    at www.bilitex.com at YTL 7 each.

    In the group's other game, the Czech Republic hosts Ukraine.
