FT - Koldo Alvarez 04/09/1970 49 - 7 0 0 0 5 Iceland - Andorra Monday 14 October 2019 - 20.45CET (18.45 local time) Match press kit Laugardalsvöllur, Reykjavik Head coach Erik Hamrén Date of birth: 27 June 1957 Nationality: Swedish Playing career: Ljusdal, Stockviks Coaching career: Njurunda (youth), Sundsvall (youth), Bro (youth), Enköping, Väsby, Brommapojkarna, Vasalund, Degerfors, AIK, Örgryte, AaB, Rosenborg, Sweden, Iceland • Hamrén's short-lived playing career began with home-town club Ljusdal at 17, but after a two-year spell both there and at Stockviks, he was forced into retirement through injury. • Began coaching at junior level before taking on his first senior post with Enköping and experienced his first major success nine years later, when he led AIK to victory in the 1996 Swedish Cup – a trophy he successfully defended with the Stockholm side the following year. He also took the team to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1996/97, where they bowed out to eventual winners Barcelona. A third Swedish Cup was added to his CV with Örgryte in 2000. • After moving abroad in 2004 to join AaB he won the Danish Superliga in 2008, having also led them into the UEFA Cup group stage, then followed up with back-to-back Norwegian championships at Rosenborg. • During his time in Trondheim he was appointed as the coach of the Swedish national side, doing the two jobs simultaneously until he stepped down from his Rosenborg duties in September 2010 to take charge of Sweden full time. Over the next six years he led his country to the finals of both UEFA EURO 2012 and UEFA EURO 2016, missing out on the 2014 FIFA World Cup only after a qualifying play-off defeat by Portugal. • After two years out of the game he was recalled to the international arena by Iceland, who appointed him as their new head coach on 8 August 2018 in succession to Heimir Hallgrímsson. Koldo Alvarez Date of birth: 4 September 1970 Nationality: Andorran Playing career: Aurrerá Vitória, Atlético Madrid, Toledo (loan), Salamanca, FC Andorra (twice), Balaguer Coaching career: Andorra • A reserve goalkeeper at Atlético, Koldo came through the club's youth ranks and lifted the Copa del Rey with the Spanish side in 1990/91. • Leaving the capital in search of first-team football, Koldo played for Toledo before winning promotion to the Spanish second division with Salamanca in 1993/94. • Signed for FC Andorra in the summer of 1994, dividing his time between playing for the club's first team and acting as a youth coach with the national Under-17, U19 and U21 sides. • Capped 78 times by Andorra before his retirement following a 6-0 loss to England at Wembley in June 2009 having been named his country's best player of the last 50 years by the Andorran Football Federation (FAF) six years earlier. • Took over as coach of the national team in February 2010, his side finishing bottom of their qualifying groups for UEFA EURO 2012 and the 2014 FIFA World Cup. That was again the case in the UEFA EURO 2016 preliminaries, although Andorra did score four goals – setting a new best mark for the competition – and overcame Hungary in June 2017 in 2018 World Cup qualifying, their first competitive win since 2004. 6 Iceland - Andorra Monday 14 October 2019 - 20.45CET (18.45 local time) Match press kit Laugardalsvöllur, Reykjavik Match officials Referee Tamás Bognar (HUN) Assistant referees Balázs Buzás (HUN) , Péter Kóbor (HUN) Fourth official Balázs Berke (HUN) UEFA Delegate Edy Kindle (LIE) Referee UEFA EURO Name Date of birth UEFA matches matches Tamás Bognar 18/11/1978 4 59 Tamás Bognar Referee since: 1995 First division: 2006 FIFA badge: 2009 Tournaments: 2015 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, 2011 UEFA European Under-19 Championship Finals N/A UEFA European Championship matches featuring the two countries involved in this match Stage Date Competition Home Away Result Venue reached 03/09/2015 EURO QR Israel Andorra 4-0 Haifa Other matches involving teams from either of the two countries involved in this match Stage Date Competition Home Away Result Venue reached 08/09/2009 U21 QR Northern Ireland Iceland 2-6 Coleraine 03/09/2015 EURO QR Israel Andorra 4-0 Haifa 7 Iceland - Andorra Monday 14 October 2019 - 20.45CET (18.45 local time) Match press kit Laugardalsvöllur, Reykjavik Match-by-match lineups Iceland Final tournament - Qualifying round Group H Team Pld W D L GF GA Pts Turkey 7 6 0 1 15 2 18 France 7 6 0 1 20 4 18 Iceland 7 4 0 3 10 10 12 Albania 7 3 0 4 10 10 9 Andorra 7 1 0 6 1 14 3 Moldova 7 1 0 6 2 18 3 Matchday 1 (22/03/2019) Andorra 0-2 Iceland Goals: 0-1 B.
