Stanislav Ivaylov Ivanov

Stanislav Ivanov came through Yantra Gabrovo before joining the Levski Sofia academy, and it was at Levski that he made his name, breaking into the first team in 2016 and staying for the best part of five years. He was named the Bulgarian First League's Best Progressing Player in 2019, though the title itself stayed out of reach at Levski, who finished as runners-up in both 2019–20 and 2020–21.

That form took him abroad in January 2021, when Chicago Fire signed him from Levski. The move to Major League Soccer lasted two years before the two sides mutually agreed to terminate his contract, and Ivanov returned home on a free transfer to Arda Kardzhali in February 2023.

Ludogorets Razgrad brought him back to the top of the Bulgarian game in June 2025.

Ivanov has also represented Bulgaria at senior level, winning his first cap as a substitute against Albania in October 2023, and was named in the national squad for UEFA Euro 2024.
