FIFA supporting Armenia with its "Goal" Programme
18:25 06.02.2014
Armenia, FIFA
In 1999, FIFA introduced the Goal Programme, which enables beneficiary
member associations to implement projects designed to develop football
in their respective countries. One of these countries is Armenia.
The former Soviet Union may have set great store by its sporting
infrastructure during the 1960s and 1970s, but since the country
became independent in 1991, the Armenian Football Association has been
plagued by financial difficulties which have also affected the quality
of football development.
The existing infrastructure and the quality of coaching have proved to
be the major obstacles, with the development of young talent being the
biggest casualty. For the Armenian Football Association, and indeed
for every club, youth development is a fundamental aspect and one that
lays the groundwork for a successful national team.
The Video of the Week presents how FIFA has contributed towards a
brighter future for Armenian football.
