s, and 6 Armenian Supercup
s. The club is considered in Armenia as one of the most popular Armenian football clubs since the establishment of the Armenian Premier League
in 1992. It was founded as Homenetmen Yerevan, and kept that name until the 1995–96 season, when it was renamed as Pyunik. After winning the title twice as FC Pyunik, troubles began as the club started to financially struggle, and eventually disbanded in 1999
.
Pyunik's new era began in 2001, when Pyunik absorbed FC Armenikum and automatically gained promotion to the Armenian Premier League
without playing a single game in the lower leagues. The club's owner, wealthy Armenian businessman Ruben Hayrapetyan, took a much more serious approach to the club and brought star players such as Artavazd Karamyan
and Arman Karamyan
from other Armenian clubs. FC Pyunik was not satisfied with what it already had, and improved the team more by bringing some foreign managers and players from Mali
, Cameroon
, Argentina
and later from Romania
. These improvements returned quick results, and Pyunik won the Armenian title the same year and the Armenian Cup
in 2002. Later, for the first time in independent Armenian club history an Armenian club advanced to the second round in the Champions League
. Afterwards, the club won the Armenian Premier League
title nine times in a row.
and Banants
, however, the rivalry with Ararat is a lot more fierce than that of Banants. The reason for that is because Ararat is known to be the most loved club of Yerevan
because of its Soviet accomplishments, and Banants was originally based in the region of Kotayk, and was only moved to Yerevan
in 2001. Another category Banants and Pyunik compete is their youth academies, which are considered to be the two best academies in the country.
Over the years Pyunik proved that it has strongest youth school in Armenia. The proof is that most of Armenian youth national team players are representing Pyunik, besides in 2005, Armenia U-19 team participated in final tournament of the European Under-19 Football Championship
