BULGARIA THREATEN TO LODGE FIFA AND UEFA COMPLAINT AGAINST ARMENIA
On Thursday, the Bulgarian national football team arrived in Armenian
capital city Yerevan’s Zvartnots International Airport, where the
Armenian fans “welcomed” them quite aggressively.
Bulgarian Football Union President Borislav Mihaylov is in Yerevan,
too, and he threatened to lodge a complaint to FIFA and UEFA for such
reception in Armenia, Gong.bg reports.
To note, Armenia and Bulgaria will face one another in their
penultimate 2014 World Cup qualifier group match.
The Brazil 2014 qualifiers’ return-leg match between the two squads
will be held Friday in Yerevan.
In the first leg, Bulgaria had hosted Armenia and won by a score
of 1-0.
After eight rounds in the World Cup qualifiers Group B, Italy have
already booked their spot at Brazil 2014, with 20 points, Bulgaria
have 13 points, Denmark have 12 points, Armenia and the Czech Republic
have 9 points, apiece, and Malta have 3 points.
