FC Krumovgrad and professional leagues (2021-present)edit
In 2021 the team won a promotion to the Bulgarian Third League and indicated serious ambitions to win the group and be promoted to the professional football with Stefan Genov becoming a manager.[1] On 21 September 2021 they eliminated the First League team of Tsarsko Selo.[2] In October 2021, the club changed its name from Levski 2005 to Krumovgrad and adopted a new badge.[3] In February 2022 Krumovgrad signed with Daniel Cerejido, the chief executive officer of Botev Plovdiv.[4] On 14 March 2022 the club won South-East Third League and was promoted to the Second League for the first time in their history.[5] On 26 May 2023 Krumovgrad secured their promotion to First League, for the first time in their history by finishing third in the second division, a place granting automatic promotion to the first league.[6]
For the 2023-2024 season, the club played its home games at the Komatevo ground in Plovdiv, due to its own stadium not meeting the requirements for hosting top division matches. The opener of Krumovgrad's maiden season in the first flight was an unlikely 3:1 victory at home, against reigning efbet League champions Ludogorets.
