About Spartak Yerevan FC

Spartak Yerevan FC was a short-lived Armenian football club based in Yerevan. It was founded in 2000 under the name FC Araks-Impeks, after taking over the league license of the financially troubled Araks Ararat FC, allowing it to compete in the Armenian Premier League. During the 2001 season, the club changed its name to Spartak Yerevan and continued playing in the top division.

The club competed in the Armenian Premier League in the early 2000s and also participated in European competitions. It played in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers in the 2001–02 season and in the UEFA Cup qualifiers in 2002–03, although it was eliminated in the early rounds in both cases.

After the 2002 season, the club was dissolved, and its players were transferred mainly to FC Banants (now FC Urartu). Despite its very short existence, Spartak Yerevan is remembered as one of several transitional clubs in early 2000s Armenian football, formed during a period of frequent financial instability and restructuring in the league.
