Noah opens new youth football center for up to 1,500 players

The official opening ceremony of FC Noah’s renovated youth football center took place today. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, government representatives, club officials and invited guests attended the event.

Club president Vardges Vardanyan gave the guests a tour of Noah’s training base and presented the infrastructure work completed at the facility, as well as the club’s future development plans.

The new center is designed to accommodate and develop up to 1,500 children and young players. The main goal of the project is to create a complete football development environment in which training is combined with education, analytical work and preparation for a potential transition to professional football.

Modern infrastructure for Noah’s academy

As part of the renovation, the building’s interior was almost completely transformed. Structural reinforcement work was also carried out to improve the facility’s seismic resistance.

The new center includes 15 modern dressing rooms, an educational and analytical center, a separate referees’ dressing room, waiting areas and other facilities required for training and educational activities.

During the visit, guests were also shown Noah’s first-team training center, as well as natural and artificial football pitches.

Nikol Pashinyan reviewed the conditions created for children’s and youth training, the organization of football education and the club academy’s long-term development program.

The new center is expected to become one of the main facilities for developing young footballers within Noah’s system and will allow the club to significantly expand its work with youth teams.

Noah presents plans for a new 15,000-seat stadium

During the visit to the training base, the Prime Minister was also presented with the large-scale Noah Park project.

One of its key components is expected to be a new UEFA Category 4 football stadium with a capacity of 15,000 spectators.

Government representatives were shown the planned design solutions, the infrastructure surrounding the future arena and the next stages of the project’s implementation.

UEFA Category 4 stadiums meet the requirements for hosting high-level international matches. The completion of the project is expected to become the next major stage in Noah’s infrastructure development.

The club is therefore continuing to develop not only its first team, but an entire football ecosystem — from its youth academy and training facilities to the construction of a large modern stadium.
