Sport Club Mika (), commonly known as Mika, is an Armenian football club from the capital Yerevan. It was owned by the Mika Corporation LLC headed by the Russia-based Armenian businessman Mikhail Baghdasarov. The club headquarters were located on Manandyan street 41, Yerevan.
History
The club was founded on November 30, 1998, as Mika-Kasakh Ashtarak in the town of Ashtarak by the owner of Mika Corporation LLC, Mikhail Baghdasarov. In 2000, they achieved their first domestic title, winning the Armenian Cup.
In 2007, Mika relocated from Ashtarak to Yerevan. They were based in their own newly built stadium in Yerevan.
However, by the end of the 2015–16 Armenian Premier League season, the club announced its retirement from professional football due to financial as well as non-financial difficulties.
The club returned to professional football in 2022 with a new name and crest and started in the 2022–23 Armenian First League, finishing in 10th. The team is currently playing the Armenian First League and Armenian Cup.
