FC Yeghvard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

FC Yeghvard is an Armenian football club from Yeghvard. The club participated as Zoravan Yeghvard in the first ever Armenian football competition after the split-up from the Soviet Union. After the regular competition they did not qualify for the championship stage, but were forced to play in the relegation stage. Here they finished in sixth position, which forced them to play in the Armenian First League (second level) for the 1993 season. In that season they finished third in their group (the league was split-up in two groups) which was one spot short of promotion and they remained in the First League. They later changed their name to FC Yeghvard, but never were able to reach the highest level of Armenian football as of today.
