FC Kilikia ( _hy. Ֆուտբոլային Ակումբ Կիլիկիա Երեւան), is an Armenian football club, playing in Yerevan. They were formerly known as "Pyunik Yerevan" (from 1995 to 1999) and Homenetmen (from 1992 to 1995) [ [http://www.rsssf.com/tablesa/armechamp.html Armenia - List of Champions] , from RSSSF.com, retrieved 8 June 2006] . As Homenetmen, they shared the Armenian League championship with Shirak Gyumri in 1992, while as Pyunik they won both the 1995–96 and 1996–97 Championships. However, the Football Federation of Armenia considers these championships to have been won by the current team named FC Pyunik. In 1999, they changed their name to Kilikia, and after one season they were relegated from the Armenian Premier League after refusing to pay the entrance fee [ [http://www.rsssf.com/tablesa/arme01.html Armenia 2001 Premier League] , from RSSSF.com, retrieved 8 June 2006] .

After poor performance at start of the 2008 season, Eduard Markarov was appointed as Kilika's new manager.
