The Armenian SuperCup is a match that is played between the League Champion and the Cup Winner The club is considered in Armenia as one of the most popular Armenian football clubs since the establishment of the Armenian Premier League in 1992. Year 1992 ( MCMXCII) was a Leap year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1992 Gregorian calendar) Pyunik's new era began in 2001, when wealthy Armenian businessman Ruben Hayrapetyan bought the club, brought star players from other Armenian team's such as Artavazd Karamyan and Arman Karamyan. Artavazd (Artiom Karamyan ( Armenian: Արտավազդ Քարամյան born on November 14, 1979 in Yerevan, Soviet Union) Arman Karamyan ( Armenian: Արման Քարամյան born on November 14, 1979 in Yerevan, Soviet Union) is an Armenian FC Pyunik was not satisfied with what it already had, and improved the team more by bringing some foreign managers and players from Mali, Cameroon, Argentina and later from Romania. Mali, officially the Republic of Mali (République du Mali is a Landlocked nation in Western Africa. The Republic of Cameroon is a unitary republic of central and western Africa.

The Armenian Independence Cup (Հայաստանի Անկախության Գավաթ is the main football cup competition of Armenia. Later, first time in independent Armenian club history an Armenian club advanced to second round in Champions League. The club won Armenian Premier League titles seven times in a row. In 2007 season Pyunik's themes changed, the club resigned from its foreign player's services and depended on it own academy's products.
