Today, Armenian national football team will begin the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying campaign with a test away against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Our national team arrived in Sarajevo on Thursday.
National team captain and Arsenal midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan took to Twitter sending a message to the national team fans. “We’re all set for our tie. What about you, getting ready to cheer for us?” Mkhitaryan tweeted.
To note, Group J consists of six teams: Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Finland, Greece, Italy and Liechtenstein, where they will play against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format.
The top two teams will qualify directly for the finals. Unlike previous editions, the participants of the play-offs will not be decided based on results from the qualifying group stage, but instead based on their performance in the 2018–19 UEFA Nations League.
