RA Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs, Hrachya Rostomyan, today received the team of “Ayrudzi” hockey club, which won the second place in the European club championship held in Greece on February 15-17.
Congratulating the athletes, coaches, representatives of the Armenian Field Hockey Federation present at the meeting, the minister happily stated that the good traditions of hockey are being restored in Armenia. In the words of the minister, the game like other game sports contributes to the implementation of the policy adopted by the ministry aimed at the popularization of sports.
“It is doubly gratifying that a popular sport also records good athletic results. Athletes and teams that record victory and sporting achievements will definitely receive our special attention and support.
Your successful performance in the European tournament broke the stereotype that Armenian athletes are more successful in single combat sports. You proved the opposite and gave great joy to our sports fans,” said the minister.
At the end of the meeting, the president of the Armenian Field Hockey Federation, Khachatur Giloyan, handed over one of the silver medals given to the team to the minister as a souvenir.
Let’s remind that in the tournament of European club teams, in which the strongest teams of eight countries participated: from Bulgaria, Georgia, Armenia, Greece, Norway, Finland, Poland and Serbia, the Armenian team lost only to the former world champion Poland team and won silver medals.
