PFC Pirin Blagoevgrad

Makedonska slava

Club was founded in 1928 as Makedonska Slava (lit. 'Macedonian Glory'). In 1948, the club joined the newly established FD Julius Dermendzhiev and ceased its independent existence. In 2000 Makedonska Slava was restored after unification with Granit Stara Kresna. The 2002–03 season was successful for the club, during which it finished 2nd, and won promotion to the A PFG for first time in the club's history. The club finished in 14th place in its maiden season in the elite, suffering relegation.

Several years after its founding, under the hand of the new owner Nikolay Galchev, the football club renamed to Pirin 1922 in the 2004–05 season and returned again to top flight football for the next, 2005–06 season. That season was a bit controversial as it saw two teams representing the identity of the original club playing in the top flight, the other being FC Pirin Blagoevgrad. FC Pirin only played two matches before being disqualified due to financial problems. PFC Pirin did manage to complete the season, but it finished 14th, again suffering relegation. In the autumn of 2006, the club's name was once again renamed to PFC Pirin Blagoevgrad. The following 2006–07 season, Pirin Blagoevgrad won the Western B PFG and the club joined the A PFG once more.
