We are glad to announce that Pyunik has extended the contracts of goalkeeper Stanislav Buchnev, defenders Anton Bratkov, Sergiy Vakulenko and Mikhail Kovalenko till the end of the 2023/24 season.

Our defense has been particularly impressive in the spring part of the current season:  conceding 5 goals in 13 matches.

 "The time and the job they had done proved that they are important players for us. They showed they match the level of Pyunik, therefore it was decided to extend their contracts. We will never want to give up on those footballers with whom we achieved our goals and who benefited the team.
