The club headquarters are located on Nalbandyan street 48/1, Yerevan.[1] Like most other Armenian Premier League clubs, Ulisses FC had a reserve team that played in the Armenian First League.
In 2015–16, the club was owned by the Armenian businessman Henrikh Ghazandzhyan and sponsored by the "Holiday" Group of Companies.
The club was founded in 2000 as Dinamo-2000 Yerevan, and made their debut at the 2001 Armenian Premier League season without initially playing in the Armenian First League.

In 2006, the club changed their name with the arrival of new sponsor. they occupied the 8th place at the 2006 Armenian Premier League season grabbing the chance to save their place in the top league in a decisive match with FC Dinamo Yerevan. Winning the game, Ulisses FC secured their place in the top tier for the next season. In seasons 2007 and 2008 team play was much better, and there was no need of survival games.
At the beginning of 2008, the club's department was enlarged with the Shengavit football school of Yerevan, while the Vardanank-451 Stadium of Voskehat became the training base of the club.
In 2007, they played their home games in the Kasaghi Marzik Stadium in Ashtarak. In 2009, they moved to the Mika Stadium in Yerevan.
