Levski-Rakovski (Bulgarian: Левски-Раковски) is a Bulgarian association football club based in Sofia, which competes in the A RFG Sofa Capital South, the forth division of the Bulgarian football league system. Levski-Rakovskis home ground is the Rakovski Stadium in Sofia, which has a capacity of 5,000 spectators.
Levski-Rakovski began its history as a supporting youth academy for Levski Sofia. In 2017 Stanislav Angelov was announced as the new director of the academy.[2]
In August 2017, Krasimir Ivanov, CEO of Levski Sofia, announced that Levski-Rakovski Academy is no longer part of Levski.[3] In an open letter from parents of kids that train in the academy, it was announced that Levski-Rakovski will start as an individual team, since there was no support from Levski Sofia management.[4] For the 2019–20 season the team joined Bulgarian A Regional Group. In 2021 the reconstruction of Rakovski Stadium was finished with Hristo Stoichkov being at the opening.[5]
The team won its promotion to Third League in 2022.[6] In July 2022 Angelov announced that a second team will be introduced with Levski-Rakovski II joining the A RFG Sofia with Radi Georgiev becoming the manager, while Angelov becomes head coach of the first team.[7]
