Armenian team, it'll be Ararat Yerevan if I'm not mistaked will play against Swiss team in 1st round of Intertoto Cup 2005. Currently on Intertoto position in Swis league is Grashoppers Zuryh.

It would be second confrontation between Armenian and Swiss team. First was in 2002/2003: Spartak Yerevan - St. Gallen 0:2 0:3

Well, a win for Ararat doesn't sound likely, but an upset isn't THAT unlikely either. We should get Vartanyan and Petrosian to tackle a few of the grasshoppers in their upcoming games. :D
Hey I have got an idea, take nets off of the goals and let's catch them. There won't be any grasshopers, and we can play on the empty goals.

In Europe: A draw of Intertoto Cup 2005 took place at UEFA’s headquarters in Nion, Switzerland. This tournament consists of five rounds and each round consists of two matches (home and away).

The three winners of the final matches will play in the first round of the 2005/2006 UEFA Cup tournament (September 15 and 29, 2005).

The draw has decided that in the first round of Intertoto Cup Armenia’s representative will play against the second representative of Switzerland.

As of today, Armenia will be represented in Intertoto Cup by Babants, however if this club manages to win Armenia’s Cup, then Ararat will participate in the European tournament.

I think Banants is better than Intrtoto teams,but still not good enough to win Arm Cup.

I hate this whole ararat controversy. arten haram aretsin. Now I dont even know if ararat exists. some papers call the team lernagorts-ararat, some say that ararat is still in division 1 and the team called "ararat-2" should not have the "-2" suffix. What the hell is going on with this. For all I care, ararat is GONE!!!!!!!!! There is no more ararat left. if all this eventually works out, In 50 years when they read about the history of ararat, they are gonna read how kurrupted it was back then(now). THEY are gonna see thata ararat's history is cut short because now we got a Lernagorts involved. This is too fu@@@ed up. And what is up with kotayk. whats this esteglal in front of it???? Why is it that every time our teams get a new sponsor, they have to change the name of the team. Next thing you know, we're gonna get istanbul-pyunik. WHY CAN'T THESE PEOPLE RESPECT THE TEAM'S HISTORY AND LET IT KEEP ITS NAME. I mean, we dont see man united change its name to vodafone-manchester united. Or 02-Arsenal. I mean, it will be really funny if in two years we see a new armenian team called "pizza-hut-shirak".
