Armenian federation refused to buy first-class ticket - Mauro Guevgeozian

By Vera Martirosyan

Uruguay’s Fénix current striker Mauro Guevgeozián  said he had received an invitation from the Armenian national football squad and was going to join the team.

“The only thing I asked the Football Federation of Armenia was a first-class ticket, but the Federation refused to fulfill my request,” he told NEWS.am Sport correspondent Vera Martirosyan.

“I have not joined the team. The flight lasts 20 hours, while I had only a day to recover. That was my only demand, and I think it is fair, taking into account the distance. However, I was refused. It turns out that I was not so important for Armenia. I am maximum worth of a trip in economy class. I wish Armenian team new victories,” he said.

On February 5, Vardan Minasyan’s team will play a friendly match against Luxembourg in French Valance. The 27-year-old striker of FC Ufa Michael Marcosov and FC Emmen midfilder Norair Mamedov-Aslanyan have also been invited to join the Armenian national.
