Yerevan "Pyunik" football club has apologized to the former students of its academy.
It is specifically stated in the distributed statement.
"Information spread in the media that "Noa" football club appealed to the Ethics Committee of the Football Federation of Armenia in connection with the actions of "Pyunik" football club regarding the transfer of 6 young football players to "Noa" Academy. We declare that we had no intention of offending our former students of the academy.
If anyone takes this as an insult, we apologize. We want to draw everyone's attention to the fact that in 2024 from the summer until now, the scouts of the "Noa" football club have been "hunting" for the students of the "Pyunik" sports school and even after receiving repeated rejections, they continue to harass our young people.
"Pyunik" FC initiates all possible measures to protect its students from improper actions and create appropriate conditions for development. For us, such a way of working is unacceptable and contradicts the ethical norms accepted in the Armenian football reality. We would like to express our special thanks to all those who refuse the offers of "Noa" scouts and remain loyal to "Pyunik".
Together we will continue to defend our values and move forward."
A few days ago, a photo was shared on social networks in which "Pyunik" banned former students who moved to "Noa" from entering the stadium.
