FC Chernomorets Burgas (
Chernomorets established itself as one of the most consistent teams in Bulgaria, spending most of its history in the top tier A Group. Financial problems started in the early 2000s however, and the club eventually folded after the 2005–06 season. An unofficial successor, PSFC Chernomorets Burgas was soon founded. The new club played in the top tier between 2007 and 2014, but also encountered financial problems, folding in 2019. A third club from Burgas was created in the wake of PSFC Chernomorets’ problems, named FC Chernomorets 1919 Burgas, which began playing in the amateur levels.

History
1905–1958

Between 1919 and 1944, the football club participated in the Bulgarian State Championship, regularly promoting and relegating from the different divisions of the league. In the following years several changes were made. In 1944, the club was bought by the Municipality of Burgas, its name was changed to FC Lyuboslav and a new manager was hired – the prominent Hungarian coach Kramer Lipot. However the results weren't good and soon he was sacked from his job. Years later, the bad results were the reason to bring FC Lyuboslav to a dissolve.
1958–2006
When the Bulgarian A Group became the new top tier league format of Bulgaria in 1948, Chernomorets was selected to be one of the ten teams to compete in the new league. Chernomorets finished in last place, however, and was relegated to the B Group.
In 1958, the communist authorities in Burgas decided to reestablish the sports club, which is considered a successor of the achievements of the former FC Chernomorets. The sports club was named SC Botev in honour of the Bulgarian national hero – Hristo Botev. Several years later, the authorities however decided to rename the club to its former name, FC Chernomorets.
It took Chernomorets 16 years to return to the top flight followig the relegation in 1949. Chernomorets spent eight seasons in the A Group, from 1965 until 1973. The Sharks were relegated in 1973, and the next four seasons were spent in the B Group. In 1977, another promotion to the A Group followed.

In 2004, the club with president Ivaylo Drazhev went bankrupt and in the following two seasons Chernomorets was relegated from the top division of the Bulgarian football. The future of the club was unknown and in late 2006 FC Chernomorets withdrew from the
A successor club, named PSFC Chernomorets Burgas, was established while the old club was suffering from financial problems. The new club quickly progressed through the lower leagues and promoted to the A Group in 2007.
