Gandzasar to compete in the Armenian First League

Gandzasar FA NGO has submitted a confirmation to the Football Federation of Armenia (FFA) regarding its intention to participate in the 2021/22 Armenian First League season.

Although Gandzasar FA NGO does not possess a National License required to participate in the First League and submitted its participation confirmation late, the FFA submitted a motion to the FFA Executive Committee members, recommending that an exception be made to allow Gandzasar’s participation.

Taking into account:

the development of regional football as one of the FFA’s key priorities,

the importance of having a team represent Kapan in national competitions,

and the preference to have at least 8 teams in the First League,

The FFA Executive Committee members voted in favor of the FFA’s proposal.

As a result, Gandzasar FA NGO — which in recent years has only participated in FFA youth competitions — will now once again be represented in a professional competition organized under the auspices of the FFA.

Gandzasar FA NGO will compete in the 2021/22 Armenian First League and will host its home matches at the Kapan City Stadium.

Additionally, due to Gandzasar’s inclusion, the FFA Executive Committee has approved a change in the tournament format, deciding that the First League will now be held in 4 rounds instead of 5.
