Support A1+!The Malta International Football Tournament 2008 is drawing to an end. The Armenian football team competes with Iceland on February 6.

Armenia faces a serious ordeal as leading footballers of the team Ararat Arakelian and Samvel Melkonian have been transferred to “Metalurg,” Donetsk.
Three other footballers will miss today's match. Alexander Tadevossian was disqualified during the Armenia-Belarus meeting. Goal-keeper Roman Berezovski and half-back Romik Khachatrian have serious injuries.
