Dinamo-2000

For this period the team has changed several names as being in unstable conditions. The notable fact is that the team has started its way ahead in tournament only in year 2001 and from the Armenian Football Premier League.

In year 2004 the team took 5th place in tournament table and that result in Armenian Premier League was the best for that years. Before that, the team has joined with "Zenith" (Charentsavan) football club and was renamed "Dinamo-Zenith F.C."

Ulisses

Two years later, the best result was erased. The club has changed its name with new sponsor has came. Team took 8th place in Premier League and they had chance to save situation in separate (interfacial) match with Dinamo (Yerevan). The beginning was not so promising but in 11' team was defeating 0:1, and in 14' – 1:2. The halftime has brought a new breath to team after which the team has made 3 clean goals moving the club to next season. In seasons 2007 and 2008 team play was much more better, and there was no need or survival games.

In the beginning of 2008 club's department was enlarged with football school of "Shengavit" and also club has rented (in long-term conditions) the training and field (also mini-arena) in Voskehat.

Ulisses football club is also owner of League 1 team "Shengavit" which in year 2008 has earned small gold medal in lower league but as in regulation couldn't be promoted to Premier League.

Before the start of season 2009, the team board has made a serious decisions for the result after which the team squad was strengthened with transferring-in new strong players. The first match with "Kilikia" won but was defeated in second round by "Pyunik".

Match with MIKA has ended with 0:0 in the scoreboard but in next match being home with "Banants" the game was lost 0:1. After 2 wins to low-position clubs match with "Pyunik" was next. If the first match team has lost in all meanings , this game was more stronger, but in the end Pyunik has made a goal. Winning "Gandzasar" team has played draw with "Shirak" after which – defeating MIKA with 1:2. In next 7 rounds team haven't had any lost game. Ending the season, team has earned 3rd position in league table being not far away of "Pyunik" (1) and "MIKA" (2) with "Banansts" (4) being behind.
