Heerenveen, the executive committee of the Union of European Football
Associations (UEFA) decided to cancel Armenia v Azerbaijan EURO 2008
qualifying games.
"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," UEFA said in
a statement.
Both Group A teams were awarded 0 points.
