About FC Dorostol Silistra

FC Dorostol Silistra is a Bulgarian football club based in the city of Silistra, with origins traditionally traced back to 1902 through early school-based sports activity, although the club was officially founded in 1945. It developed through several reorganisations in the city’s football structure and became the main representative team of Silistra. Dorostol plays its home matches at the Louis Eyer Stadium and is known for its blue and white colours, maintaining a long-standing local football tradition in the region.

Throughout its history, Dorostol has mostly competed in the lower tiers of Bulgarian football, but it has had moments of success, including spells in the second division and occasional strong cup performances. One of its most notable achievements came in 1984, when the club reached the final of the Cup of the Soviet Army, where it was defeated by Levski Sofia. This run remains the club’s greatest competitive highlight at national level.

In modern times, FC Dorostol has experienced financial instability and multiple dissolutions and re-formations, including a re-establishment phase in the 2010s. The club continues to participate in the lower leagues of Bulgarian football, most recently competing in the North-East Third League. Despite its fluctuations, Dorostol remains an important symbol of football in Silistra and retains its historical identity as one of the oldest football traditions in Bulgaria.
