From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FC Shirak (Armenian: Ֆուտբոլային Ակումբ Շիրակ Գյումրի), is an Armenian football team, playing in the town of Gyumri (formerly Leninakan). During the 70s, the club played under the name Olympia. They play their home games at the Gyumri City Stadium. The club is one of the oldest in Armenia and has produced many talented players who have gone on to represent the country.
Artur Petrosyan and Harutyun Vardanyan are two famous players produced by this club. Both of them had gained enviable reputations as talented players and went on to play for the Armenian national football team.
Shirak has struggled financially in recent years (2005 & 2006), a factor that has seen the club turn in poor performances in recent editions of the Armenian Premier League.
