  • Armenia V Azerbaijan canceled

    Two Euro matches cancelled - Reuters


    Two Euro 2008 Group A matches between Armenia and Azerbaijan have been cancelled, with both countries losing the six qualifying points available, says European football's governing body UEFA.

    The neighbouring countries have been involved in a long-running dispute over land. Armenia wanted the games played on a normal home and away basis but Azerbaijan refused to host the Armenians and proposed a neutral ground for both matches.

    "As no suitable compromise could be found between the two associations it was decided to cancel the two matches, namely Azerbaijan-Armenia scheduled for Sept. 8 and Armenia-Azerbaijan scheduled for Sept. 12," said UEFA in a statement following a meeting of its executive committee in the Netherlands.

    "It was decided to award both associations zero points for the matches."

      From what I remember, Armenia said they would play in Baku, Azeris were the blockers.

        I dont understand cos I thought Uefa would have decided on which country to play at.

        We have 7 points those 2 wins would have put us into 13 and a good chance to beat Belgium. Just when you think Armenia were going great this kek had to happen.
