Our Brave GK Diamond White goalkeeper gloves from the new collection are gaining popularity in Europe. Last Friday, a spectacular Group D match of the EURO 2024 qualifying round took place, where Wales and Armenia clashed. The match drew a lot of attention, as Armenia managed to sensationally defeat Wales with a score of 4:2. Their goalkeeper, Ognen Chancharevich, played a magnificent match in the Brave GK Diamond White gloves.
At the beginning of this summer, Serbian goalkeeper Ognen Chancharevich accepted the invitation from the Football Association of Armenia to defend the national team's goal. The experienced goalkeeper (34 years old) has been a member of the Armenian "Alashkert" for five and a half years, which he joined in February 2018 from the "Radnik" team. In the meantime, he received citizenship of this country and, since he had not played a single match for Serbia, he earned the right to play for Armenia. The invitation came, and he was warmly welcomed. Thus, the match against Wales was Chancharevich's debut for the Armenian national team.
"Being invited to the Armenian national team is my main football achievement," says Chancharevich himself. "I hope that I will be useful and help the Armenian team with my experience. I am very happy to receive this invitation. I am ready to help the team 200 percent." The next match involving Chancharevich will take place on June 19 against Latvia, also within the EURO 2024 qualifier.
Chancharevich was born in Užice, Serbia. He graduated from the local football school of the "Sloboda" club. Later, from 2006 to 2009, he defended the colors of the teams "Zlatibor", "Sloga Baina Tower", "Sevojno". From 2009, he played for "Radnicki" (Kragujevac), where he played five seasons, primarily as the main goalkeeper. Between 2014 and 2018, he played for the teams "Sloboda" (Užice), OFK (Belgrade), "Mladost" (Lučani) and "Radnik" (Surdulica).
Ognen Chancharevich joined the "Alashkert" team in 2018. He is one of the most prominent players of the club, having played dozens of matches in the main lineup.
Chancharevich's Achievements
The Armenian national team goalkeeper has chosen our updated Diamond White model with a modified Rollfinger cut for his EURO 2024 performances. These are professional goalkeeper gloves made of high-tech German latex Supreme Contact 4 mm. Our unique Rollfinger cut is characterized by the absence of a seam between the central fingers, as well as ventilation holes. The outer side of the glove is reinforced with a 3D embossed impact zone, allowing you to punch the ball with greater comfort and efficiency.
"Brave GK Diamond White is a versatile model that demonstrates excellent results on both natural and dry or artificial turf. Ognen Chancharevich's favorite model is the result of painstaking work on two popular Brave GK gloves — Phantome and Aqua.
Wales
Armenia
Wales' hopes for an easy path to EURO 2024 were shattered by the splendid performance of Armenia, and particularly goalkeeper Ognen Chancharevich, who made no less than three excellent saves in the Brave GK Diamond White gloves. Armenia attacked brilliantly, scoring several fantastic goals, and Wales undoubtedly underestimated their opponent. As a result of a foul against Armenian national team goalkeeper Chancharevich, Wales striker Kieffer Moore was sent off the field. Interestingly, this was the first meeting between the teams in the last 20 years.
"Daniel James opened the scoring on the 10th minute, and no one seemed to expect Armenia to fight back. However, Lucas Zelarayan equalized the score 9 minutes later, and a goal from Grant-Leon Rano put the Armenian team ahead on the 30th minute. At the 66th minute of the match, 19-year-old Rano made the score 3:1. He learned his craft at Bayern Munich.
Although soon after that Harry Wilson narrowed the deficit, Zelarayan quickly doubled his own tally, making the score 4:2 in favor of the Armenian team.
Three minutes later (78"), Kieffer Moore received a red card for aggressive behavior against goalkeeper Ognen Chancharevich. Wales finished the match short-handed and lost to Armenia with a score of 4:2.
Wales' head coach Rob Page admitted: "We got a slap in the face tonight — and maybe it's the slap we needed. I didn't see it coming. It shocked me. They taught us a lesson about how not to behave."
