2000 qualifying, beginning with a 3-1 defeat in Armenia on 5 September
1998. Jesús Lucendo scored the goal. Andorra also performed creditably
against France, conceding just three goals in two meetings with the FIFA

for that campaign by hosting Brazil in June 1998, a friendly ending in
an honourable 3-0 defeat.
