The national football team of Moldova scheduled another two important matches before the qualifying competition for 2016 UEFA European Championship. The team trained by Ion Caras will play Saudi Arabia and Canada in May.

The match against Saudi Arabia will take place in the Spanish town Jerez on May 24, while the friendly against Canada will be played in Salzburg, Austria, three days later. Moldova has never played official or friendly matches against these two countries.

“We want to receive the best training before a new qualifying tournament. I’m contented that we will face good opponents in the friendlies,” Moldova coach Ion Caras has told IPN.

On September 8, Moldova enters the Euro 2016 qualifying tournament. On this day, the ‘tricolors’ will meet away the national team of Montenegro. Moldova plays in a group with Russia, Sweden, Austria, and Liechtenstein.
