Head of Armenia’s National Security Service Artur Vanetsyan has been unanimously elected the president of the Football Federation of Armenia (FFA) during an extraordinary session of FFA.
Former FFA president Ruben Hayrapetyan who has been heading the federation since 2002 was not present at the meeting. During the last 16 years fans and experts demanded Hayrapetyan’s resignation on numerous occasions.
Hayrapetyan, in turn, promised that he would leave this position putting forward different preconditions, for example claiming he would resign in case of failure in the European and Word Cup qualifying rounds. However, he never kept his promise.
