Source-derived summary

Football Club Syunik, commonly known as Syunik, is an Armenian football club from the Syunik Province.

History

The club was founded on July 1, 2022 in the town of Kapan, under the name Gandzasar (not to be confused with Gandzasar Kapan FC), but changed the name to Syunik before the start of the 2022-23 Armenian First League season, for which they, along with the returning West Armenia, Mika as well as Lernayin Artsakh (the latter of which had just been promoted to the Armenian Premier League, therefore registering a reserve team), had applied and got licensed. In 2025, they were licensed for and achieved promotion to the Armenian Premier League, but decided not to compete and therefore stayed in the First League.
