The President of the Football Federation of Armenia summoned a press conference on November 20 to sum up the outcomes of football tournaments held in 2009.
“The 2010 national budget doesn’t envisage assignment for the Football Federation. It’s saddening that the government has forgotten about our federation. It may be conditioned by the crisis or unserious approach of the Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs,” Ruben Hayrapetyan said.
“The Federation doesn’t need money. But Armenian football needs good stadiums and schools. The government should address these problems by contributing some AMD 50-100 million annually,” he said.
