The title came in 1932, and the side that won it did not carry the name it carries now. Varna still calls them The Falcons .

That championship sat inside a short run of near-misses: runners-up in 1931, runners-up again in 1933, with third place in 1929 already behind them.

The name changed in October 1945, when Levski and Radetski of Varna were folded in and the merged club became Spartak . It changed again in 1969 with Lokomotiv Varna, and the football section was cut loose as its own club in 1985.

Each of those runs bought a season in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.

The 1984 bronze medals were taken away at the last moment. The club got them back in 2000, sixteen years after the season they were won in.

Ivo Georgiev top-scored the league in 1995/96 with 21 goals, in the same period the club put 15 past Lesicheri without reply.

They merged in June 2017.

The ground on Stadion Spartak holds 12,000.
