FC Yambol
FC Yambol 1915 (Bulgarian: ФК Ямбол 1915) is a Bulgarian football club based in Yambol, currently playing in the Third Amateur Football League (Bulgaria), the third division of Bulgarian football. Its home stadium "Tundzha" has a capacity of 18,000 seats. Club colors are blue and white.
Founded in 1915, Tundzha is one of the oldest Bulgarian football clubs. The team had early successes in the State Championship, finishing in third place twice during the 1930s. After the football league system was reformed after World War II, Tundzha was not selected to play in the newly formed A Group in 1950, instead starting from the second tier B Group. Tundzha did promote to the A Group in 1970, remaining three seasons in the top level, before dropping to the B Group and gradually falling down into the amateur levels over the next decades.
The club was officially founded on 17 March 1915. The team was one of the founders of Bulgarian B Group under the name Partizan. Tundzha Yambol is in 40th place on A Group All-time ranking from 1948 to 2013.
The team is the successor to several smaller clubs from Yambol, namely Botev, Georgi Drazhev, Nikolai Lyskov, Partizan, Spartak, DNA, Red Flag, Victory and Glory. During the 1950s the team attempted to become a stable part of B Group, oftentimes fluctuating close to promotion to the A Group as well as relegation to the third level.
In the 1960s, Tundzha became an established participant in the second tier, and they were often involved in the fight for the B Group title almost every season. Tundzha had their best season in 1969–70, when they managed to finish first in the second tier and promote to the A Group for the very first time in the club's history.
Tundzha's first season in the A Group, 1970-71, ended with the team finishing in 13th position on the table, thus avoiding relegation. That season, only one team was relegated, due to the league expanding from 16 to 18 teams. Only 16th-placed Maritsa Plovdiv were relegated, thus Tundzha survived their first season.
Tundzha's second season in the elite category, (1971-72), was marked by unstable results and the danger of relegation was present almost throughout the entire season. The team eventually finished 16th, with 28 points, two points above 17th-placed Marek Dupnitsa, who were relegated. Tundzha again managed to survive and remain part of A Group for next season.
Tundzha's third season in A Group proved to be the toughest for the club. Tundzha eventually finished 17th, with 25 points, which was three less than what was needed to survive, resulting in Tundzha's relegation from the top tier, after three seasons among the best.
