About

Football Club West Armenia (Armenian: Ֆուտբոլային Ակումբ Վեստ Արմենիա), was an Armenian football club based in the capital Yerevan. On 13 June 2019, FC West Armenia was officially founded in Yerevan by Vahe Stepanyan. In its first year of foundation, West Armenia took part in the Armenian First League. Mika Stadium was the home ground of West Armenia. On May 31, 2021, the club announced that it will no longer participate in any competition due to financial difficulties. In July 2022, along with SC Mika, Gandzasar Kapan, FC Syunik and Lernayin Artsakh-2, West Armenia were given license to participate in 2022–23 Armenian First League season. At the conclusion of the season, West Armenia were officially declared champions of 2022–23 Armenian First League and therefore promoted to 2023–24 Armenian Premier League. On 19 July 2024, Sirmium Sports acquired FC West Armenia. On 15 May 2025, the team was disqualified and removed from 2024-25 Armenian Premier League, after not showing up for the 27-th matchday fixture against Ararat-Armenia. (this was the second no-show for the club, the earlier being in Round 17 vs Pyunik, which was cancelled after West Armenia did not attend due to a protest by their players over late payment of salaries). In addition, the “West Armenia FA” NGO was fined 2,000,000 Armenian drams (approx. US$5,155).
