The Pan-Armenian Futbol Association (PAYFA) was founded in Southern California by Armenian Americans who wanted to couple their obligation to their homeland of Armenia with their passion for futbol, commonly referred to as the ‘Beautiful Game”.

The cornerstone of PAYFA’s role is to encourage and facilitate youth players of Armenian descent to pursue their dreams of futbol as a potential professional career or playing the game at the collegiate level. With this goal in mind, we will be using as many of our personal and community resources to identify a global network of talented Armenian youth players.
