Squad14 Dec 2026

51 days out for Gor Arakelyan after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. BKMA will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Words exchanged at BKMA

Argishti Petrosyan and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad14 Dec 2026

A row about effort at BKMA

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Rob Nizet was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market14 Dec 2026

BKMA promote Hovhannes Mkhitaryan from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Hovhannes Mkhitaryan has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Edgar Spertsyan steps up from the BKMA academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Edgar Spertsyan has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

When it matters, Aydın Bağ plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad16 Nov 2026

80 days out for Gor Arakelyan after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. BKMA will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Transfer targets16 Nov 2026

Jacopo Busi due for a BKMA medical

Everything agreed with another club, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Words exchanged at BKMA

Rob Nizet and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Anatoliy Ayvazov

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Anatoliy Ayvazov, and the manager let it.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Words at BKMA training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Artur Askaryan is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout16 Nov 2026

Aydın Bağ gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Aydın Bağ is on it.

94 days out for Gor Arakelyan after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. BKMA will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Argishti Petrosyan in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at BKMA this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Igor signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Igor commits to BKMA for another 2 years.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Rob Nizet falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Taha Balcı

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Taha Balcı, and the manager let it.

Market2 Nov 2026

Still no ink between BKMA and Jamal Dibirgadjiev

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at BKMA, another week without a signature from Jamal Dibirgadjiev.
