Description Available in: FK Spartak 1918 Varna (Bulgarian: Футболен клуб „Спартак 1918“ Варна, romanized: Futbolen klub Spartak 1918 Varna) is a Bulgarian association football phoenix club based in Varna, which currently competes in the First League, the top level of Bulgarian football league system. Spartak plays its home matches at the local Stadion Spartak.
Spartak established itself as one of the pioneering teams in Bulgarian football. They won the Bulgarian league in 1932, and were runners up in 1931 and 1933. Spartak have spent the majority of their existence in the first two tiers of Bulgarian football, although their last top flight participation has been during season 2008-09, a negative streak of 12 seasons outside the top level. This dark period was marked by inconsistency in terms of both results on the pitch and financial problems. The negative streak ended in 2022, when Spartak returned to the top level following promotion.
Spartak's nickname is the "Falcons", and they have a very heated rivalry with fellow Varna-based club, Cherno More. Matches between the two sides are known as the "Derby of Varna".
