Immediately after the end of the “Euro-2016” qualifying tournament, the Armenian national football team became the focus of a loud scandal, the circumstances of which UEFA intends to initiate an investigation.
According to the report of the Serbian newspaper Kurir, the Union of European Football Associations will conduct a special inspection to find out whether the Armenia-Albania match was arranged.
The Czech website Opozita.com spread such information, according to which the Albanians paid 500,000 euros each to 4 players of the Armenian team, whose names have not been mentioned.
Let’s remind that thanks to winning 3:0 in Yerevan on October 11, the Albanian national team took the 2nd place in the subgroup and got the right to participate in the final stage of the European Championship for the first time in history.
It is noted that if the deal is revealed, Albania will be deprived of the earned ticket, which will be transferred to the 3rd placed Danes. And the Serbs will participate in transition games.
Nothing is reported about possible sanctions against the Armenian national team.
