Legendary Brazilian footballer Cafu says he was very pleased to take the offer to play in the Legends Match in Yerevan, which is due on July 8 in the Armenian capital.

“This is my first time in Armenia. It is with great pleasure that I have come here. We will play with great joy with our old friends. The result of the Legends Match isn’t important, what’s important is to make the Armenian people happy, to give joy,” he said.

The Latin America vs Europe Legends Match will kick off in Yerevan at 19:45, July 8, and will feature legendary players, including Rivaldo, Hernán Crespo, Gabriel Batistuta, Dida, Cafu, Ivan Zamorano, Juliano Belletti, Serginho, Paolo Maldini, Youri Djorkaeff, Jari Litmanen, Hristo Stoichkov, Demetrio Albertini, Ludovic Giuly, Kakha Kaladze, Ryan Giggs, Ronaldo and many more.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
