Ukrainians plan a friendly with Iran

KYIV, January 29 (DSA)- The Ukrainian national team have always had some problems concerning international friendlies schedule. But now Leonid Buryak's side seem to have overcome that difficulties.
"We sent several match invitations to all corners of the world. Now we have nine federations' agreements," the Head of Ukrainian National Teams Committee Anatoliy Buznyk said to DSA correspondent.
"Saudi Arabia offered us to play. But most likely we will deny it as the date they suggest coincides with already planned games against Japan (March 21) and Georgia (April 17). We now study all other proposals. Iran, for instance, offered to play a friendly in August before Euro-2004 qualifying campaign kicks off. We are going to accept the proposal," Buryan concluded.
