Five teams were disqualified for various periods of time for participation in contractual matches
 
In Armenia ahead of schedule finished the season in the First League championship, but the reason was not ill-fated coronavirus. The decision of the Executive Committee of football Federation of Armenia adopted after consideration of the case about contractual matches in the League. Five teams – the “Aragats”, “torpedo”, “Masis”, “locomotive” and “Yerevan” – were disqualified for various periods of time. Also under the sanctions were 58 people, 44 of them were suspended from football for life.
 
“Decisions were taken in relation to those clubs, in which case FFA received a reasonable, compelling evidence from international organizations and law enforcement agencies. The evidence that we have received from our international colleagues, will be transferred in law enforcement bodies.
 
However, this process ends. Established in the FFA, the Expert group will continue to work to identify all possible adverse occasions. In addition, this year introduced a licensing system for clubs of the First League. This will help prevent the emergence of clubs of unknown origin. Our goal is to eradicate corruption and contractual matches in Armenian football,” said Hayrapetyan Armen Melikbekyan.
