Erebuni Sport Club (Armenian: Էրեբունի Սպորտային Ակումբ), is an Armenian professional football club based in the capital Yerevan.
History
The club was founded as Homenmen-FIMA FC in 1992 in the Erebuni District of the Armenian capital Yerevan, representing the sporting club of the Armenian State Institute of Physical Culture. They participated in the first ever Armenian football competition in 1992 after the split-up from the Soviet Union. After the regular competition they qualified for the championship stage where they finished in the 9th position. As a result, they have qualified for the highest level in the 1993 season.
In 1995, the club became known as Homenmen Yerevan FC representing the pan-Armenian sports and scouting organization Homenmen. In 1997, the club was renamed as Erebuni-Homenmen FC while the name was changed to Erebuni SC in 1999. However, in 2000, Erebuni Sport Club was dissolved due to financial and non-financial difficulties.
Despite of several name changes -the latest to become Erebuni SC in 1999– the club had never been relegated out of the Armenian Premier League.
In 2007, the club was re-opened as a youth football school under the ownership of Tigran Ayvazyan, based in the Erebuni District of Yerevan.
In June 2016, it was announced that the club was revived on the basis of the Erebuni football school located in the Erebuni District of Yerevan. The club made its debut in the 2016–17 Armenian First League season.[1]
