Araks Ararat FC (Armenian:Արաքս Արարատ Ֆուտբոլային Ակումբ), isArmenianfootball club from the town ofArarat,Ararat Province.
The club was founded in 1960 asFC Ararat to represent the town ofArarat. With the independence of Armenia, theArarat Cement Factory took over FC Ararat in 1993 and the club was renamedFC Tsement Ararat.[1] They played in theArmenian Premier League and won two titles, the first in 1998 as Tsement and the 2nd in 2000 as Araks Ararat. The following year, Tsement yielded the championship toFC Shirak by two points and ended up on the third spot behindArarat Yerevan. However, after many successful years, the club presidentAbraham Babayan was unable to finance the club. Eventually, the rights were sold in late 2000 to a new sponsor based in Yerevan and Araks Ararat FC was dissolved.
The club was resurrected a year later for the 2002 season,[2] but since it gave its license for participating in the Premier League to Spartak Yerevan, was unable to participate in Premier League and had to settle to restart from the First League. Since 2021, the team plays in theAmateur A-League, and since 2024 have their reserve team play in theAmateur B-League. In 2025, after winning the 2024-25 A-League season, the senior team got licensed and will return to theArmenian First League.
