Noah's home stadium is the Mika Stadium, located in the Shengavit neighborhood of Yerevan, however the club has been playing several matches at the nearby Alashkert Stadium located in the same neighborhood.

History

The club was founded as FC Artsakh in 2017 and played its first match in a goalless draw against FC Banants on June 2, 2017.[2] Noah played its first competitive season in the 2018-19 Armenian First League, finishing second and achieving promotion to the Armenian Premier League.[3]

After a disappointing 8th place finish in the 2018-19 season, the club was sold to Karen Abrahamyan, who would rebrand and re-name the club FC Noah in 2019.
