The Armenian national team will host Belarus in a friendly on March 25. The fixture to be held at Yerevan’s Vazgen Sargsyan Stadium will be the farewell match of Armenia’s long-time goalkeeper Riman Berezovsky.
The legendary keeper decided to quit international football after a Euro-2016 qualifier against Portugal.
Berezovsky had been playing for the Armenian national team since 1996. On club level he played for Russian “Zenit,” Torpedo” and “Dinamo” and holds the Russian and USSR record of denying penalties.
