YEREVAN, DECEMBER 14, ARMENPRESS: National Football team of Armenia
will have a friendly match with Luxembourg team on February 5, reports
Armenpress referring to FIFA official page. In accordance with the
information spread by press the match will possibly take place in
Armenian populated city of Valence, France. February 6 is the official
friendly match day due to FIFA calendar.
The FIFA International Match Calendar is an outline agreement between
FIFA, the seven continental football federations, European Club
Association and FIFPro.
The match calendar sets out which dates can be used for ‘Official
matches’ and ‘Friendly matches’. It also determines when international
competitions such the AFC Asian Cup, Copa América, CONCACAF Gold Cup,
UEFA European Championship, FIFA Confederations Cup and the FIFA World
Cup can take place. The OFC Nations Cup is not listed on the
international match calendar. FIFA insist that official and friendly
matches should take precedent over domestic matches; however they
state that international friendlies that take place outside of the
designated dates do not.
