About FC Volov Shumen

FC Volov Shumen is a Bulgarian football club from Shumen, founded on 1 December 1929 as Panayot Volov, after a hero of the April Uprising. Thanks to the city's famous Shumensko beer, the team is known as the Brewers. It plays in yellow and blue at the Panayot Volov Stadium, which once held over 24,000 spectators.

The club took part in the national championship as Shumen regional champion in the 1930s, and later played as DFS Shumen, Madara Shumen and, from 1985, FC Shumen. Its best era came in the 1990s in the Bulgarian A Group: a fourth-place finish in 1993–94 brought its only European campaign, in the 1994–95 UEFA Cup, where it lost to Anorthosis Famagusta in the preliminary round.

The club later lost its sponsors and went bankrupt, folding its senior team in 2014 before being refounded in 2018. In 2024 it merged with Shumen 2007 to form Volov Shumen 2007, which plays in the third tier of Bulgarian football.
