About FC Chirpan

FC Chirpan is a Bulgarian football club based in the town of Chirpan, founded in 1929 originally under the name “Yavorov.” It was later restructured and took its current name FC Chirpan in 1981. The club developed as a local team in southern Bulgaria and mainly competed in the regional and lower national divisions, representing the town in the Bulgarian football system.

The club’s most notable sporting achievement came in 1983, when, while playing in the second division (B Group), it reached the final of the Cup of the Soviet Army. This was a historic moment for the club, although it lost the final 3–1 to Lokomotiv Plovdiv. This run remains the peak of Chirpan’s competitive success and the most significant result in its history.

In modern times, FC Chirpan has remained active mostly in the lower tiers of Bulgarian football, competing in regional leagues and amateur divisions. The club continues to play at Yavorov Stadium and represents a traditional small-town football side with a long local history, though it has never returned to the higher levels of Bulgarian football since its brief peak in the 1980s.
