Armenia U19 Could Take Part in International Tournament in Tashkent

The Armenia U19 national team will take part in an international tournament dedicated to the memory of Mirabror Usmanov, which will be held from October 1 to 6 in Tashkent. The information became known following a publication by the Russian Football Union.

According to the RFU, the youth national teams of Armenia, Uzbekistan, Russia and Saudi Arabia will participate in the tournament. In particular, the match between Armenia and Russia is scheduled for October 5.

However, the Football Federation of Armenia has not yet officially announced the team's participation in the tournament in Tashkent. Moreover, the calendar on the FFA's official website lists two Armenia U19 friendly matches against Estonia on the same dates — October 2 and 5 in Yerevan.

Both matches against Armenia also appear in the official schedule on the website of the Estonian Football Association.

Thus, it remains unclear how the Armenian team's schedule will be organized. It is possible that the coaching staff could divide the players into two squads: one would play the friendly matches against Estonia in Yerevan, while the other would travel to Tashkent to participate in the international tournament.

There has been no official confirmation of such a decision from the Football Federation of Armenia so far.

It should be noted that Armenia's youth national teams are also playing international friendly matches in September. On September 16 and 19, Armenia U16 will face their counterparts from Lebanon.
