Pyunik also shares a rivalry with [[FC Urartu|Urartu]] which began when Urartu relocated from [[Abovyan]] to [[Yerevan]] in 2001, and became the third largest team in the city. The Pyunik-[[FC Urartu|Urartu]] rivalry is seen as one of the biggest clashes in Armenian football. Pyunik's home stadium is the [[Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium]], which is also home to the [[Armenia national football team]]. The youth academy has produced many Armenian internationals such as [[Henrikh Mkhitaryan]], [[Robert Arzumanyan]], [[Karlen Mkrtchyan]], [[Edgar Manucharyan]], [[Varazdat Haroyan]] and [[Gevorg Ghazaryan]], many who have played or are playing for top European clubs. ==History== Pyunik was founded in 1992 by Armenian football legend [[Khoren Oganesian]] and originally named [[Homenetmen]] Yerevan.<ref name="EFH">(2005) Encyclopedia of Football Head.

In 1995, Homenetmen Yerevan was renamed FC Pyunik (Armenian for "Phoenix").

Pyunik finished 6th that season and withdrew from football altogether. Pyunik secured a comeback to professional football following its absorption of [[FC Armenicum]], a newly promoted team to the [[Armenian Premier League]]. The club's new management sought to bring more experience to the club and reinforced the squad with foreign players from [[Argentina]], [[Cameroon]], [[Mali]] and [[Romania]].

Following the club's reappearance in 2001, Pyunik introduced its iconic logo design which included a bold letter '''P''' placed on top of a football. The club kept this design for 13 years before introducing a double-headed golden phoenix crest in 2014. This change resulted unpopular among the fans and Pyunik introduced a new badge in 2019, this time returning to its original round shape with a predominantly blue logo and a red phoenix in the center. <gallery> File:FC Pyunik crest.svg|2014–18 File:FC Pyunik_logo.svg|2019–present </gallery> ==Stadium== {{main|Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium}} [[File:Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium (formerly Dynamo Stadium).jpg|thumb|right|The stadium during Soviet era]] [[File:Yerevan's Republican Stadium view.jpg|thumb|right|Stadium view]] [[File:Pyunik vs Maccabi Tel Aviv (1).jpg|thumb|right|The stadium during a [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] qualifying match]] Pyunik used several locations throughout its history. Between 1992 and 1998, Pyunik played at [[Hrazdan Stadium]], Armenia's largest stadium with a capacity for 54,208 spectators.<ref>{{cite web|title=Stadiums|url=http://www.ffa.am/en/Stadiums-1414068391|access-date=29 April 2020|archive-date=28 February 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200228085649/http://www.ffa.am/en/Stadiums-1414068391|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2001, following the renovations works done at the [[Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium|Republican Stadium]] two years before, Pyunik relocated and played all its home matches there until 2013, with a brief interruption in 2008, when the club was forced to play at [[Pyunik Stadium]]; its training ground, due to renovation works at the [[Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium|Republican Stadium]]. Between 2013 and 2017, the [[Yerevan Football Academy]] served as a home venue for all domestic competitions, while still using the [[Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium|Republican Stadium]] for international fixtures. At the beginning of 2017–18 Armenian Premier League season, Pyunik used the [[Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium|Republican Stadium]] as a home venue during the first half of the season, and eventually returning to their own [[Pyunik Stadium]] during the second half. The [[Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium|Republican Stadium]] is also the home of the [[Armenia national football team]], and is sometimes used by other [[Armenia]]n teams for their international cup fixtures. The club is currently planning on building an all-seater 5,000 capacity stadium by 2022.<ref>{{cite web|title=Le propriétaire du club de football Pyunik envisage d'investir 15 millions de dollars dans la construction d'un stade et d'une base sportive pour son club|url=http://www.armenews.com/spip.php?page=article&id_article=5891|access-date=29 April 2020|archive-date=29 April 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200429163930/http://www.armenews.com/spip.php?page=article&id_article=5891|url-status=live}}</ref> ===List of stadiums used by the club=== * [[Hrazdan Stadium]]: 1992–98 * [[Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium]]: 2001–08 * [[Pyunik Stadium]]: 2008 * [[Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium]]: 2008–13 * [[Yerevan Football Academy Stadium]]: 2013–17 * [[Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium]]/[[Pyunik Stadium]]: 2017–18 * [[Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium]]: 2018–present ==Supporters== Pyunik's supporter base is traditionally regarded as part of [[Yerevan]]'s higher class, in contrast with the supposedly more lower-class base of cross-town arch rival [[FC Urartu]]. Because of the club's history and recent success, the fanbase has grown not only in Yerevan, but in other provinces of [[Armenia]] and within the [[Armenian Diaspora]] as well. Pyunik is considered to be one of the most popular clubs in [[Armenia]], and has one of the biggest [[Ultras]] fanbases in Armenia, called Sector 18, named after the sector they occupy at the [[Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Sector 18 Pyunik FC|website=[[Facebook]] |url=https://www.facebook.com/sector18pyunikfanclub/|access-date=29 April 2020}}</ref> ==Rivalries== Pyunik's rivalry with [[FC Ararat Yerevan|Ararat]] originates with the creation of the club itself. Pyunik's founder [[Khoren Oganesian]], is considered an [[FC Ararat Yerevan|Ararat]] club idol, due to his achievements at the club during the Soviet period, winning the [[1975 Soviet Cup]]. Pyunik's success in recent history has led the club's image to surpass that of [[FC Ararat Yerevan|Ararat]], which has led to arguments over which club has had a bigger impact on [[Armenia]]n football. The other rivalry, between Pyunik and [[FC Urartu|Urartu]] is also known as the clash of [[Yerevan]] neighborhoods, since Pyunik is located in the wealthier [[Kentron District|Kentron]] neighborhood, whereas [[FC Urartu|Urartu]] is located in the lower-class [[Malatia-Sebastia District|Malatia-Sebastia]] neighborhood. The rivalry between both teams originates from Urartu's relocation from [[Abovyan]] to [[Yerevan]] in 2001, competing with and eventually becoming one of the largest teams in the city. Both teams' youth academies also compete with each other as they are considered to be two of the best in the country. ==Players== {{For|a list of all former and current FC Pyunik players with a Wikipedia article|Category: FC Pyunik players}} ===Current squad=== {{updated|1 February 2025}}<ref>{{cite web |title=Pyunik |url=https://fcpyunik.am/en/team/1 |website=fcpyunik.am/ |publisher=FC Pyunik |access-date=3 February 2021 |archive-date=5 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190305123204/https://fcpyunik.am/en/team/1 |url-status=live }}</ref> {{Fs start}} {{Fs player|no=3 |nat=ARM|name=[[Arman Hovhannisyan]]|pos=DF}} {{Fs player|no=4 |nat=ARM|name=[[Solomon Udo]]|pos=MF}} {{Fs player|no=5 |nat=ARM|name=[[Varazdat Haroyan]]|pos=DF}} {{Fs player|no=6 |nat=BRA|name=[[Juninho (footballer, born July 1995)|Juninho]]|pos=DF}} {{Fs player|no=7 |nat=ARM|name=[[Edgar Malakyan]]|other=[[Captain (association football)|captain]]|pos=FW}} {{Fs player|no=8 |nat=CIV|name=[[Serges Déblé]]|pos=FW}} {{Fs player|no=9 |nat=LIT|name=[[Matas Vareika]]|pos=FW}} {{Fs player|no=11|nat=DRC|name=[[Joël Bopesu]]|pos=DF}} {{Fs player|no=14|nat=NGA|name=[[Yusuf Otubanjo]]|pos=FW}} {{Fs player|no=15|nat=RUS|name=[[Mikhail Kovalenko]]|pos=DF}} {{Fs player|no=17|nat=ARM|name=Levon Petrosayan|pos=MF}} {{Fs player|no=20|nat=BRA|name=Lucas Villela|pos=MF}} {{Fs player|no=21|nat=BRA|name=[[Agdon Menezes]]|pos=FW}} {{Fs player|no=22|nat=BRA|name=[[Alemão (footballer, born 1992)|Alemão]]|pos=DF}} {{fs mid}} {{Fs player|no=23|nat=BRA|name=[[Vagner Gonçalves (Brazilian footballer)|Vagner]]|pos=FW}} {{Fs player|no=25|nat=RUS|name=[[Daniil Kulikov]]|pos=MF}} {{Fs player|no=32|nat=ARM|name=Sergey Mikaelyan|pos=GK}} {{Fs player|no=33|nat=ARM|name=[[Taron Voskanyan]]|pos=DF}} {{Fs player|no=35|nat=ARM|name=Petros Alekyan|pos=MF}} {{Fs player|no=66|nat=POR|name=[[Martim Maia]]|pos=MF}} {{Fs player|no=71|nat=ARM|name=[[Stanislav Buchnev]]|pos=GK}} {{Fs player|no=77|nat=NGR|name=Sani Buhari|pos=FW}} {{Fs player|no=79|nat=UKR|name=[[Serhiy Vakulenko]]|pos=DF}} {{Fs player|no=92|nat=HAI|name=[[Bryan Alceus]]|pos=MF}} {{Fs player|no=95|nat=UKR|name=[[Anton Bratkov]]|pos=DF}} {{Fs player|no=97|nat=ARM|name=[[David Davidyan]]|pos=DF}} {{Fs player|no=99|nat=RUS|name=[[Temur Dzhikiya]]|pos=FW}} {{Fs player|no= |nat=RUS|name=[[Nikita Alekseyev (footballer)|Nikita Alekseyev]]|pos=GK|other=on loan from [[FC Ural Yekaterinburg|Ural Yekaterinburg]]}} {{Fs end}} ===Out on loan=== {{Fs start}} {{Fs player|no=|nat=ARM|name=Mark Avetisyan|pos=DF|other=at [[BKMA Yerevan]]}} {{Fs player|no=|nat=ARM|name=Vyacheslav Afyan|pos=MF|other=at [[BKMA Yerevan]]}} {{Fs player|no=|nat=ARM|name=Artur Grigoryan|pos=MF|other=at [[BKMA Yerevan]]}} {{Fs mid}} {{Fs player|no=|nat=ARM|name=Karlen Hovhannisyan|pos=MF|other=at [[BKMA Yerevan]]}} {{Fs player|no=|nat=ARM|name=Aris Karapetyan|pos=FW|other=at [[BKMA Yerevan]]}} {{Fs player|no=|nat=ARM|name=Levon Vardanyan|pos=FW|other=at [[BKMA Yerevan]]}} {{Fs end}} {{For|recent transfers|List of Armenian football transfers summer 2024}} ===Technical staff=== {| class="wikitable" |- !
