Club career

Dvin Artashat

Before playing in Dvin, Kasparov is a graduate of the Yerevan football school. As a youth, he played with the team Dvin Artashat. He played for this youth club from 1997 – 1998. At the age of 17 he became the main goalkeeper for the club. Because of the club's poor defensive line, the number of goals scored against Kasparov in the 1997 season were 51 goals in 18 matches. However, in the following season the situation changed so that in 10 matches, Kasparov caught the ball outside the goal 19 times.

Zvartnots-AAL

In 2000, Kasparov signed a contract with the club Zvartnots-AAL, which reached the final of the Armenian Cup twice and became runners-up in the 2001 Armenian Premier League. Perhaps Kasparov would have continued his career in this club, but at the end of the season, the club withdrew from the Armenian Premier League because of financial problems.

Ararat Tehran

Kasparov was forced to find a new job. A proposal came from neighbouring Iran, from Tehran's F.C. Ararat Tehran. He played there for the 2003 season, then went back home.

MIKA Yerevan

Kasparov's debut match for the club was at Ashtarak on 17 April, where the opponent was the Armenian Premier League champion in the previous year, Pyunik Yerevan. In that match, Mika Yerevan was defeated by a score of 1:3. Together with the team, they were runners-up in the 2004 Armenian Premier League.
