The Armenia national football team (Armenian: Հայաստանի ֆուտբոլի ազգային հավաքական [hɑjɑstɑni futbɔli ɑzɡɑjin hɑvɑkʰɑkɑn]) represents Armenia in association football and is controlled by the Football Federation of Armenia, the governing body for football in Armenia. After the split of the Soviet Union, the team played its first international match against Moldova on October 12, 1992.
History
Armenia became an independent state in 1991. Armenian national team history begins in October 1992, when Armenia met Moldova. The match was held on October 14, 1992 in Yerevan. Since the Euro 1996 qualifying round, Armenia is participating in the Euro and World Cup qualification rounds.
First more or less success was in 2007, when under Ian Porterfield's coaching, Armenia defeated Kazakhstan 2:1 and Poland 1:0, and managed to draw with Cristiano Ronaldo-led Portugal. But soon Porterfield died of cancer, leaving his started work unfinished.
So far, the highest position achieved by Armenia in qualifying rounds of international competitions was in Group B of the Euro 2012 qualifying, when they ended 3rd with the most goals scored in their group. Although, Armenia had the opportunity to advance to the play-offs, they lost the key away game against Ireland. Many Armenians disputed the sent-off of goalkeeper Roman Berezovsky which eventually led Armenia defeated in Dublin.
Stadium
Hrazdan Stadium, the largest stadium in Armenia with more than 70,000 seats, has been used for Armenia national team home matches until 2000. The Republican Stadium was renovated in 1999 and since 2000 it's the home ground for Armenia.
In 2008 the politically controversial Armenia vs. Turkey match was played in Hrazdan after partial renovation earlier that year. The number of seats decreased from 70,000 to 53,849. It is planned to hold Armenia's home matches after a complete renovation in 2012.
