BKMA

FC BKMA Yerevan is an Armenian professional football club based in Yerevan, with the full name Central Sport Club of the Army Yerevan, and it was founded in 1947 during Soviet rule and was commonly known by its Russian abbreviation CSKA Yerevan. After Armenian independence in 1991 the club made its professional debut in the 1994 Armenian First League, finishing 3rd, and in 1995–96 it finished 2nd behind FC Arabkir before beating Aragats Gyumri in the promotion play-off. The club folded halfway through the 1997 season and remained inactive until it was revived in 2019 by Defence minister David Tonoyan to help young Armenian players develop during their military service. BKMA played its first season in the Armenian First League in 2019–20, was promoted to the Armenian Premier League after finishing second the next year, and a reserve team, BKMA-2, won the 2024–25 Armenian First League but was not promoted.
