PFC Levski Sofia carries the name of Vasil Levski, Bulgaria's foremost national hero โ that patronage, rather than any crest or colour scheme, has defined the club's identity since 1914. Fans call the side "Sinite" (The Blues), and Levski remains the only Bulgarian club never relegated from the top flight since the league was established in 1937.
The most memorable night in the club's European history came in the 1976 UEFA Cup quarter-final against FC Barcelona. Having lost the first leg 0โ4, Levski produced a stunning 5โ4 win in the return leg in Sofia, though it was not enough to overturn the aggregate deficit. That match is still cited as proof the club can compete with Europe's giants.
After years of frustration, Levski ended a long drought by winning their 27th Bulgarian title in 2025/26, their first since 2009, breaking Ludogorets Razgrad's 14-year stranglehold on the league. Home matches are played at the Georgi Asparuhov Stadium, named after the club legend who died in a car crash in 1971.
