Georgia Suggests Armenian and Azeri Football Teams to Meet in Tbilisi
The Football Federation of Georgia suggests that national football teams of Armenia and Azerbaijan meet in a neutral field in Tbilisi. According to Federation Vice President Gogi Kavtaradze, the proposal will soon be sent to Yerevan and Baku. Armenia and Azerbaijan are in the same group of the qualifying round of the European Championship. Taking into account the tense relations between these countries, the teams may refuse to play in each other's fields. Thereupon, it was suggested to hold the matches on a neutral territory. The Football Federation of Georgia supposes Tbilisi may serve as a territory of the kind, reported Kavkaz Press.
