About PFC Slavia Sofia

PFC Slavia Sofia is a Bulgarian professional football club based in Sofia, founded on 10 April 1913. It is considered the oldest sports club in the capital and one of the pioneers of organized football in Bulgaria. Known as “The Whites” due to their traditional colors, the club has maintained a continuous presence in the top tier of Bulgarian football for most of its history and plays its home matches at the Aleksandar Shalamanov Stadium.

Slavia enjoyed its greatest domestic success in the early and mid-20th century, winning multiple national championships between 1928 and 1943 and later adding further titles, including a notable league and cup double in the 1995–96 season. Overall, the club has won seven Bulgarian league titles and eight Bulgarian Cups, establishing itself as one of the country’s historically significant teams, even if it has not dominated as consistently as some of its rivals.

In European competitions, Slavia Sofia has achieved several notable results, most prominently reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1966–67 and the quarter-finals in 1981. The club also won the Balkans Cup twice in the 1980s. Despite more modest performances in recent decades, Slavia remains an important part of Bulgarian football history, with long-standing rivalries in Sofia and a reputation as a traditional and respected club.
