  Armenia to play friendly match with Canada January 18, 2012 - 10:40 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Canada has announced it will face Armenia in an away Men's International Friendly match in Cyprus on February 29, 2012, Canada Soccer reported. The match - a first-ever international meeting between the two nations - falls on the first FIFA International Date of the 2012 calendar year. As this FIFA International Date provides just a short 72-hour window, head coach Hart expects to rely heavily on European-based players for the match in Europe. Some players may also not be available due to their in-season or off-season training schedules via club commitments. Armenia recently posted five wins, two draws and three losses in Euro 2012 Qualifying, just falling short of a place in the final competition scheduled for later this year. "Armenia had a very good run before the team was eliminated," said Head Coach Stephen Hart.
