FC Metalurg (
History
The club was founded in 1957 as Zavod
In 1997, Metalurg achieved a historic promotion to the A Group. The team performed decently in their first season of top level football, achieving a mid-table finish. In terms of sporting performance, the second season in the elite was also successful, however it was marred by off-field controversy. It was discovered that Metalurg was involved in a match-fixing scandal with other teams,[2] which resulted in the Bulgarian Football Union expelling the club from the A Group, ending their two-year stay in the elite.[3]
It was restored in 2013 after being dissolved in 2008 and started from the 4th league.
