History

edit

Bansko was founded in 1951. The team has largely played in regional leagues throughout its history. The team enjoyed more success in the 21st century. Bansko was promoted to the B PFG for the first time in 2009. A strong selection of players led to success in the second tier of Bulgarian football. In their debut season, Bansko finished third, very close to securing promotion to the top tier. During this season, 2009-10 season, Bansko managed to finish in third place, with 59 points, equal with Akademik Sofia on points. However, Akademik had a better goal difference and was placed second, thus being promoted to the first tier at the expense of Bansko.

On 15 June 2020 the team was transferred under a new operative company and at the start of season 2021–22 the team name was changed to FC Bansko Team.
