History[]

Since 2015, the Bulgarian Football Union allowed Bulgarian teams to have reserve sides in the lower regional divisions. In the beginning of 2021 Botev Plovdiv announced their intentions to create a reserve team in Second league. In May 2021, the team had doubts about starting the team,[1] but eventually the team was officially announced on 4 June.[2] On 7 June, Stefan Stoyanov was announced as the manager of the team, with Botev U19 team, joining the reserve team.[3]
