Champions – 1996
Founding Date – 10.04.1913
On this day a group of young people living near a Russian Monument in Sofia
and representatives of the local capital clubs “Botev” and “Razvitie” in a
coffee-house – Alabin str. in Sofia, have made a decision to establish an
incorporated sport club – the fist organized sport club in Sofia and in
Bulgaria. The new incorporated club has named SLAVIA.
Dimitar Blagoev – Palio, a 21 year-old student, was elected as the first
president of the club. As members of the first club administrative council were
elected Emanuil Geshev, Ferdinand Michailov, Zviatko Velichkov, Georgi Grigorov,
Todor Kalkanjiev.
On 19.04 1913 was elected the first football
team of the club - Stefan Lalov, Ilia Georgiev, Emanuil Geshev, Todor Kalkanjiev,
Stephan Chumpalov, Dimitar
Blagoev – Palio ( all of them from “Botev”) and Pavel
Grozdanov, Ferdinand Michailov, Boris Sharankov, Asen Bramchev, Dimitar Zvetkov
(all of them from “Razvitie”).
The first sport kits of the club were white shirts and black shorts. Since
1924 the team plays with white shirts and white shorts and up to present days it
is popular as the “White Pride”.
Slavia plays its first match on 11.08.1913 versus the local team “Savata” and
wins by 1:0.
